REST Assured Configuration: Continuous Integration Pipelines for API Tests





Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for testing application programming interfaces (APIs) are automated workflows that integrate code changes, test executions, and deployment processes to ensure that APIs function correctly and are ready for production environments. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of CI/CD and its significance in automating software testing. You will install Jenkins on your local machine and see how you can configure Jenkins to automate your builds and tests. Next, you will enhance your CI/CD pipelines by exploring advanced Jenkins features. You will set up both manually triggered and scheduled builds for testing, examine the inefficiencies of polling GitHub repositories for changes, and use WebHook triggers and GitHub push notifications for more efficient build triggers. Finally, you will create a continuous integration pipeline using GitHub Actions. You will integrate Java RestAssured API tests into the GitHub repository's life cycle, configure Surefire reports to generate detailed test reports, and set up workflows to send email alerts upon test completion or failure.
