This hands-on course is designed to equip learners with the foundational and practical skills required to design, implement, and validate REST API tests using the powerful REST Assured library in Java. Starting with a clear introduction to REST Assured, the course gradually builds up to more advanced testing operations, such as extracting JSON data, asserting HTTP responses, validating headers, and dynamically passing parameters through queries.

Through structured modules and real-world demonstrations, learners will explore the syntax, setup, and test-building capabilities of REST Assured while developing confidence in automating RESTful web service validations. By the end of the course, learners will be able to construct robust API test scripts, interpret API responses, and verify endpoint behaviors with precision, aligning their knowledge with best practices in modern API testing. This course is ideal for testers, developers, and automation engineers looking to strengthen their backend testing toolkit using Java.

This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of REST Assured, a powerful Java-based library for testing RESTful web services. Learners will begin with understanding the course structure and the role of REST Assured in API testing. The module also guides them through setting up their development environment, installing necessary dependencies, and writing their first API test cases. By the end of this module, learners will be equipped to initiate test scripts and perform basic validations using REST Assured.
