REST Assured. API test automation for beginners

Plan to test all rest methods on the rest booker api, including get, post, put, patch, delete, plus health check, with basic authorization and endpoint filtering.

Create your first Rest Assured test in a Maven project, writing a health check test that uses given-when-then and validates a 201 status code.

Add more get tests for the bookings IDs endpoint using Rest Assured; verify a 200 response and a non-empty list of booking IDs with JsonPath, first without filters.

Learn to automate get booking tests using REST Assured and JsonPath, switching from hard to soft assertions, validating status code 200 and response fields.

learn to submit a post request with a json body using Rest Assured, create a booking, and verify the booking id and details with a reusable create booking method.

Learn how to automate a put request with a JSON body in REST Assured by creating a booking, obtaining its ID, and updating the full resource with authentication.

Master basic authentication with username and password to authorize update booking requests in REST Assured, switching to primitive basic auth and validating responses with expected failures and fixes.

Automate a partial update of a booking using a json patch request with Rest Assured, updating first name and check in date, with authorization and booking id in the url.

Learn to automate a delete booking test with rest assured by creating a booking, deleting it by id, verifying a 201 response, and confirming booking is not found when retrieved.

Create a request specification with a request spec builder, set the base URI, and reuse it across tests using a before method and a base test class.

Use path parameters to identify resources in rest APIs and distinguish them from query parameters. Implement them via the request specification to build reliable get booking tests.

Learn how to use query parameters with Rest Assured to filter bookings by first name, last name, and check-in and check-out dates, and add them to the request specification.

Learn to work with headers and cookies in REST Assured, extract headers and cookies from responses, print them, and add headers and cookies to requests.

Demonstrates how to request xml responses in REST Assured by setting the Accept header to application/xml. Explains parsing with xml path instead of json path to read the response.

Serialize pojos to create json request bodies for REST Assured by adding Jackson data bind, defining booking and booking dates classes, and wiring getters, constructors, and toString.

Demonstrates deserialization of a create booking response into a BookingID Pojo, including a nested Booking, using Rest Assured, with validation via equals and toString, and showing two coding styles.
