Rest Assured Automation - API

Hello All,

 

Try to put some information around Rest Assured API testing using eClipse, TestNG. in subsequent blog, will provide some technical view.

 

API testing using RestAssured

• RestAssured itself is API designed for automating Rest services/ Rest APIs.
• Implemented using java classes
• Available in jar files
• Multiple request, get response from apis, validate data etc
• Restassured only support Rest services, it not support SOAP services 

Setting up

• Java
• Eclipse
• Test NG
• Maven (specify dependencies)  

Steps:

1. Create Maven project in eclipse
2. Need to update POM.xml file
1. RestAssured (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.rest-assured/rest-assured/4.3.1)
2. TestNG (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.testng/testng/7.3.0)
3. JSON – simple (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.googlecode.json-simple/json-simple/1.1.1)
4. Apache poi (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.poi/poi-ooxml/4.1.2, https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.poi/poi/4.1.2)

 

Validations:

Status Code

Status Line

Request body n parameters

Success code

Validate Header

Json contains

Print headers

 

Data driven testing

1 prepare test data in excel

2 add apache poi dependency in pom.xml  or download apache poi & attach jars to your build path

3 XL utility file(java class file) which will read data from excel

4 write TestNG with data provider method

Cheers,

TJ
