REST API Automation Testing from Scratch - REST Assured Java - Data-Driven Testing Mechanism for API Tests using the Cuc

The video tutorial explains the concept of data-driven testing using the Cucumber framework. It highlights the limitations of hardcoded data and demonstrates how to use Cucumber's scenario outline and examples keyword to dynamically drive test data. The tutorial covers creating step definitions, running tests, and constructing a dynamic JSON payload. It emphasizes the importance of making tests flexible and adaptable to different data sets, allowing for more robust and maintainable testing frameworks.

What is the main advantage of using a data-driven mechanism in a framework?

• It simplifies the code structure.

• It enables dynamic data input for test cases.

• It allows for hardcoding data.

• It reduces the need for test cases.

How does Cucumber help in managing dynamic data?

• By creating static data files.

• By using enums.

• By hardcoding values.

• By using the 'examples' keyword.

What is the role of the 'examples' keyword in Cucumber?

• To simplify the test runner.

• To create new scenarios.

• To declare dynamic data fields.

• To define static data.

What operator is used in Cucumber to separate dynamic data fields?

• Comma

• Semicolon

• Pipe

• Colon

What must be changed in the feature file to use dynamic data?

• Add more test cases.

• Remove all static data.

• Use 'scenario outline' instead of 'scenario'.

• Add a new scenario.

What happens if you don't use 'scenario outline' in Cucumber?

• Cucumber will throw an error.

• Cucumber will create a new scenario.

• Cucumber will run the test with default data.

• Cucumber will ignore the data.

What is the purpose of modifying step definitions in Cucumber?

• To simplify the code.

• To add more test cases.

• To accommodate dynamic data.

• To remove errors.

How can you verify that dynamic data is correctly integrated into your test?

• By checking the test runner.

• By using a debugger.

• By running a static test.

• By reviewing the logs.

Why is it beneficial to declare data in the feature file?

• It simplifies the test runner.

• It reduces the number of test cases.

• It allows non-technical stakeholders to understand and modify data.

• It makes the code more complex.

What is the final step to ensure dynamic data is used in the test?

• Remove all dynamic data.

• Run the test without any changes.

• Add more static data.

• Verify the setup through logs.
