Automating and Testing a Rest API: A Case Study in API Testing Using: Java, Rest Assured, Postman, Tracks, Curl and HTTP Proxies Richardson MR Alan J.Paperback

Have you ever wished that you had a worked example of how to test a REST API? Then take your testing forward into automating the API? Not just automate the API, but how to interact with it, using command line and GUI tools, to support your manual interactive testing.

A step by step case study covering: - How to read the REST API documentation. That's what this book provides. - How to tell if the application is using the API.

- How to interact with the API from the command line with cURL. - Automating with BASH and Windows Command Line. - Sending API requests through an HTTP Proxy so you can see in detail the requests and responses.

- How to use HTTP Proxies to create data in the application through Fuzzing. - Postman REST API GUI tool. - Automate 'under the GUI' parts of the application that don't have an API.

- Automate the API with Java using REST Assured. - Build abstraction code to
