Welcome to the API Automation Workshop's main branch, which features a fully integrated API automation framework using Rest Assured. This framework is the culmination of a step-by-step instructional journey designed to teach you the ins and outs of API testing, from basic concepts to advanced CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions.
The main branch contains the complete, production-ready API automation framework. It's an aggregate of all the incremental features and lessons introduced in the workshop's task branches. If you're looking to understand the full picture or just want to dive into the code, you're in the right place!
For those interested in learning how this framework was built piece by piece, we've organized the workshop into detailed steps, each corresponding to a specific branch. You can explore these branches to see the evolution of the framework and understand the implementation of each feature.
Each branch represents a critical step in building the API automation framework. Below is an overview of what each branch covers:
The starting point, providing the initial project structure and setup necessary for API automation.
Discusses the fundamental setup for writing API tests including environment configurations.
Demonstrates writing the first test case, focusing on a user signup API to illustrate basic assertions and validations.
Shows how to create a client layer to handle API calls more efficiently, abstracting the complexity of direct HTTP requests.
Explains how to enhance test readability and reliability with POJOs for request and response models.
Teaches handling of comprehensive API responses, including deserialization strategies for status codes and headers.
Covers a practical test scenario by implementing an "add to cart" feature, simulating real-world e-commerce user behavior.
Provides insights into managing various environments and datasets by externalizing API endpoints and test data.
Focuses on the importance of test reporting, discussing methods to enhance the visibility and analysis of test results.
Completes the framework by integrating GitHub Actions for CI/CD, ensuring tests are automatically run with every code change.
