RestAssured Overview

RestAssured is a Java-based library used for API testing of RESTful web services. It
simplifies the process of sending HTTP requests and validating responses in REST APIs.

Key Features of RestAssured:

✅ Supports BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) syntax for writing readable API tests.
✅ Handles JSON and XML responses easily.
✅ Supports authentication methods like OAuth, Basic, and Digest authentication.
✅ Integration with testing frameworks like JUnit and TestNG.
✅ Built-in support for request and response validation (headers, status codes, response
bodies).
✅ Easy serialization and deserialization of JSON/XML payloads.

Example RestAssured API Test (GET Request)


java
CopyEdit
import io.restassured.RestAssured;
import io.restassured.response.Response;
import static io.restassured.RestAssured.*;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;

public class APITest {


public static void main(String[] args) {
RestAssured.baseURI = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com";

given()
.when().get("/posts/1")
.then().statusCode(200)
.body("userId", equalTo(1))
.body("id", equalTo(1));
}
}

Use Cases of RestAssured:

 Testing REST APIs for web and mobile applications.


 Automating API functional and regression testing.
 Validating API responses (status codes, headers, response bodies).
 Integration with CI/CD pipelines for automated testing.
