Let’s get started with Web API Test Automation! – Overview

Accidentally, I have purchased a monthly subscription on Pluralsight. When I saw the notification of the withdraw, I got angry: did not know the 10-days free subscription automatically turns into a commercial one if you don’t cancel it on time. So what I had to do? Start squeezing out as much juice as possible from this in a month and….learn!

First thing I searched for was automated testing. I was really surprised to find a course on API automation, because I am used to find tons of information and tutorials on Selenium and other UI automation tools, and this API course caught all my attention! <3

What will we get from this course?

  1. Overview of the fundamental theory that surrounds Web APIs including how a Web API works and the basics of HTTP
  2. Hands-on practice with various tools that can help you automate tests, and you will also understand some of their strengths and weaknesses
  3. How to get started with CREATING YOUR OWN TESTING FRAMEWORK in Java to achieve test automation by using a popular library called Apache HTTP Client.

What output should we get by the end of this course?

By the end of this course, we’ll have gained an overview of what solutions are available as well as the practical coding skills to achieve faster testing. Plus, a foundation to further develop a fully automated approach to testing within the software development life-cycle.

I hope you’ll join me in this journey of learning & getting started with Web API Test Automation in Java inspired by Pluralsight.
