REST Assured Techniques: Integrating Reporting with REST Assured API Testing





Reporting in tests is essential for providing visibility into the health, performance, and reliability of software applications, allowing teams to make informed decisions about releases and maintenance. Extent Reports and Allure Reports are powerful tools in this domain, offering rich, interactive dashboards that detail test executions, highlight failures, and track trends over time. In this course, you will explore the crucial role of integrating reports with tests in software development projects. You will get an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of Extent and Allure reporting frameworks. You will first create and customize Extent Reports. You will learn to abstract reporting details using the ITestListener interface in TestNG for a cleaner and more maintainable test suite. You will also discover how to add request and response details to your reports and integrate your reporting with a GitHub Actions automated continuous integration pipeline, enhancing your testing workflow. Finally, you will delve into configuring Allure Reporting for your tests. You will organize your tests with Allure's features such as Epics, Features, and Steps, and learn to present request and response details effectively. The integration of Allure Reports with GitHub Actions will conclude your learning, equipping you with comprehensive skills in test reporting.
