REST Assured Configuration: Data-driven Testing with TestNG and REST Assured





Data-driven testing is a methodology where test scripts are executed and validated using data sets stored in external databases or files. This approach allows for a more flexible, scalable, and maintainable testing process, as it enables the testing of multiple scenarios with different data inputs without altering the test code. In this course, you will learn the essentials of data-driven testing with TestNG and REST Assured, focusing on API testing for a bug-tracking application programming interface (API) server. You will send API requests, incorporate query and path parameters, and write tests to validate server responses. Next, you use parameterized tests to efficiently test APIs with varying input data. Then you will learn to manage test data using TestNG data provider methods. You will store your test data in comma-separated values (CSV) and JSON files and learn how to eliminate repetitive code. Finally, you will use Apache Poi and the Poiji library for simplified Excel parsing to streamline the process of reading and parsing Excel files, and deserializing data into plain old JavaScript objects (POJOs) for API testing.
