API Testing with REST Assured E-Learning Training 

Het testen van API's is van cruciaal belang geworden voor de levenscyclus van softwareontwikkeling en zorgt ervoor dat API's correct functioneren en voldoen aan de gespecificeerde vereisten. REST Assured, een krachtige Java-bibliotheek vereenvoudigt het testen van RESTful webservices door een domeinspecifieke taal (DSL) te bieden waarmee ontwikkelaars beknopte en leesbare tests kunnen schrijven. Door gebruik te maken van REST Assured kunnen API-tests naadloos worden geïntegreerd in de continue integratie en continue implementatie (CI/CD) pijplijn, waardoor de algehele kwaliteit en betrouwbaarheid van webapplicaties wordt verbeterd.

In deze LearningKit leer je hoe REST API's werken, zet je een Maven project op en voer je basis API tests uit. Deze basis omvat het matchen van numerieke en string objecten, collections en arrays met Hamcrest, het valideren van API headers en het beheren van query en path parameters. Naarmate je verder komt, zul je REST Assured gebruiken voor response body validatie, JSON schema's genereren en geavanceerde validatietechnieken toepassen voor JSON en XML data. Je ontwikkelt en test API's met verschillende HTTP verbs en beheert request en response bodies met POJOs. Uitgebreide datagestuurde tests met TestNG en het configureren van authenticatie voor veilige API-toegang komen ook aan bod. Om schone, onderhoudbare code te garanderen, zul je best practices in API-tests toepassen, zoals request en response logging en foutinjectie. Het integreren van API-tests in CI/CD-pijplijnen met Jenkins, het aanpassen van rapportageframeworks zoals Extent en Allure-rapporten, het implementeren van API mocking met WireMock en het uitvoeren van belastingtests met Apache JMeter zijn belangrijke vaardigheden die de uitgebreide leerervaring afronden.

Deze LearningKit met meer dan 18 leeruren is verdeeld in drie sporen:
