[@sriniqa4352]

Hi Mukesh Awesome explanation. before i saw your video i don't know anything about RestAPI and RestAssured. I can say confidently now i can work on RestAPI and RestAssured. Thank you so much

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hey Srini, Good to see your comment. I would suggest you to keep learning advance stull for REST API.

[@RupeshShinde]

My Grandmother liked your vedio, after she successfully automated Restful service using Rest Assured ... Thanks :) Nice Vedio Mukesh asusual ...!

Good start for Automation of Rest API. good option for JMeter. Also Mukesh , if the APIs have Basic Authorization , how to handle that ?

[@shreeshpandey9469]

Nce video Mukesh and very helpful information you had provided in video. Please make video for post method also

[@stevenclark1973]

Thanks for the video. Brilliant. Do you have any real world examples how these companies are using Postman & RestAssured? I've noticed i've been trying to learn the detail of these tools when I know a lot of companies don't use at that level. I'm just trying to learn the common procedures/methods as there are so many technologies, languages, syntax and tools these days! You can never be proficient in all of them so need to find out what is mandatory for API testing - if there is such a thing. The market is getting more and more difficult now as new tools and methods continually are being invented! It's difficult to keep up with the ever changing technologies. Thanks again.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Steve, I agree with your point that its hard to learn each and every tool. For API testing itself we have more then 13 tools in market but at the end of the day our main purpose is to automate API's. You can choose any tool which serve your purpose. I personally use restassured for my API testing and I use Jenkins for triggering the test. Postman is more likely kind of tool which help you to test API's manually.

[@AbhishekVerma-fs6bs]

Thanks Mukesh ! Very nice explanation.. I have already implemented POM model framework in my project. How do I integrate Rest assured with existing framework. Can you please advice. Many thanks

[@meenakshi2356]

Hi Mukesh, Thanks for the crip details shared. I have one question related to API testing. Unless the API is a public api is it necessary to do api testing in addtion to the ui tests. If so how to identity the scenarios which can be testing only in API testing and not in UI testing.

[@baggumani]

meenakshi 1 API testing is very important. This is all based of requirement again.. What should be the output, Authorization, different data, output format, status codes.. Ultimately you are going to integrate with UI once API is done.. Early testing is always important in software.

[@dipeshlpatel]

Hi Mukesh, As every quality information and it will be such a great help to create a video on how to create robust REST Assured Api framework and reporting for the stackholder. I shall be looking forward to hearing from you Thanks again for your exceptional support to the Testing Community.

Hi Mukesh thanks for the video.You share how to validate time, status code but can you please explain how to validate the response and also how to set the methods(get, put, post etc.) by automation... I really need to learn that.

[@wanderlust2109]

Hey Mukesh, to automate any API do we need to validate the correctness of data against the DB?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Prachi, Instead of testing WebUI functionality can be tested from API like login, add to cart, payment and invoice. After payment is done if you have DB access then yes you can make get call to DB and verify the same payment.

[@wanderlust2109]

Can you please let us know how can we get connected to DB.. I am actually using azure cosmos and services hosted in azure...

[@asmarazaq9122]

Hi Mukesh, for API automation; Can jmeter serve the same purpose like using the Rest Assured Library?i am confused between jmeter API automation and the use of Rest Assured Library for the same purpose, which one is better?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Asma, JMeter is mainly for performance testing tool but we can also do API testing but not extensively. RestAssured is full fledged library which can be only used for RestAPI testing. Final thoughts- If you have end to end api test scenario then go ahead with Rest Assured but if you want performance testing then JMeter and gatling

Hey Mukesh.. Thanks for a wonderful session In my step defination when I m trying to utilise the same request body that I am using in soap ui I m not able to fetch the result it giving error message as expected status code as 200 but was 500 Though with the same request body I m good to retrieve the data from soap... Any thoughts or suggestions wht mistake I m making or suggestions for any link where I can correlate with the requeste body issues Thanks in advance for all your support

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Ravi, 500 is internal server error so may be server could not handle that request at that moment. I would recommend you to see what additional header soapui is passing and pass the same header while making request and see the behaviour.

[@thesubhadeepdebnath]

The thing you showed can also be done on postman very easily,where is it's utility? And how is it automation?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Subhadeep, Not only postman there are 15+ plugin in market and more than 20 tools for API testing which does the same thing. When you make request to postman and get the response or data (json or xml) you manually verify but when it comes to RestAssured or Apache HTTP Client or Jersey etc you write custom code to validate the same. Postman cant sent or feed the data to another API so when it comes to interacting multiple API, Sending Payload and Applying multiple assertions and Creating maven build running via Jenkins I usually prefer RestAssured/Karate/HttpClient Hope it is clear now if still not clear then let me give final words Selenium IDE vs Selenium WebDriver- If you worked on Selenium then you can relate this Some more info can be found below stackoverflow.com/questions/43903908/restassured-vs-postman-automation-test-in-restful-service down

But now one manager called and asked us(some other new joiner and me) to automate jira using API. She said yes as she have exp in API. We need to work on it tomorrow. What should I do now. Should I tell him that I didn't work on API before. Please give me suggestion.
