In this lecture I examine a sample of application with REST architecture and SWAGGER interface

This lecture discovers usage of such tool for REST-service testing as POSTman (Google Chrome's extension). It's very useful during the test scripts development.

This lecture contains short overview of REST-assured and its site with documentation and user guide.

ATTENTION: Here is a new web-address of the REST-assured: www.rest-assured.io

This lecture is equator between the theory and practice in the course. So here I show how to setup all environment setting and Eclipse IDE with all required Maven dependency (except installing of Java).

Instruction:

How to launch REST sample API locally.

You can follow the steps from the instruction below or download the file from the "External Resources" in this lecture.

1. Download sample of REST API:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29572172/rest-app-0.0.2.jar

2. Open command line

3. Navigate to that folder where you have saved rest-app-0.0.2.jar file from the step #1

4. Enter java -jar rest-app-0.0.2.jar

5. Open in browser:

http://localhost:8080/swagger/index.html

This is the first test script in the course. Here I show how to create a java test class which contains test methods. I perform the most simple GET request test.

In this lecture I demonstrate the most simple POST scenario for the automation test script.

Take a look at "Downloadable materials" there you will find a cheat sheet for hamcrest matchers. It is handy to use it while doing any kind of verifications in test scripts.

This lecture covers extra JUnit annotations such as @Before group with concrete example of @BeforeClass

In this lecture I continue work on the simple POST test script from the previous lecture. As the result I demonstrate how should work common POST test script

In this lecture I show how to develop test script which checks validation responses of HTTP requests

This lecture contains material which describes flow of entity update using PUT HTTP request

This test completes the section of simple test scripts by representing a work with HTTP DELETE request

In this lecture I discuss the problem of JUnit and advantages of TestNG

This lecture discovers the steps you should do to migrate from JUnit to TestNG

In this lecture I show how to use priority attribute of @Test annotation in TestNG framework

In this lecture I show how to use dependsOnMethods attribute of @Test annotation in TestNG framework

This lecture contains example of @DataProvider usage. This gives you ability to apply the same test steps to different data sets.

In this lecture I show how to start work with the second part of the test REST application

In this lecture I comment the code of test scripts which test functionality of the Apartment in the test REST application. Also I overview the usage of Query Parameters.

In this video lecture I demonstrate the hook which improves the entire architecture of the testing framework by injecting a BasicTest class.

In this video lecture I show multiple cases of test run using testng.xml

Also you can find final version of all REST-tests which we have developed during the course.

In this lecture I will learn basic concepts of REST-services authentication and authorisation.
