REST API Automation Testing from Scratch - REST Assured Java - Practical Example of Implementing Spec Builders and Optim

The video tutorial explains how to use request and response spec builders to optimize API test code. It covers creating request and response specification objects, separating reusable code, and generalizing response specifications for different API tests. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of organizing code for better readability and reusability, ultimately simplifying test cases.

What is the primary purpose of using spec builders in testing?

• To manage database connections

• To create complex mathematical models

• To simplify and organize test code

• To enhance graphical user interfaces

Which method is used to set the base URI in a request specification?

• initializeBaseUri

• setBaseUri

• addBaseUri

• defineBaseUri

What is the return type of a request spec builder object?

• RequestSpecification

• ResponseSpecification

• String

• Integer

In the context of API testing, what does the 'given' keyword represent?

• The user interface

• The database connection

• The request being sent

• The response from the server

Why is it beneficial to separate request and response in testing?

• To enable reuse and better organization

• To increase the complexity of the code

• To allow for more detailed error messages

• To reduce the number of test cases

What keyword is used to start a response specification?

• assert

• define

• set

• expect

What is a common element that can be generalized in response specifications?

• Network protocol

• User interface layout

• Status code

• Database schema

How does using POJO classes and spec builders affect the test code?

• It has no effect on the code

• It simplifies and shortens the code

• It makes the code harder to understand

• It makes the code longer and more complex

What is the main advantage of optimizing code with spec builders?

• Decreased test coverage

• Increased execution time

• Reduced code readability

• Enhanced code reusability

What happens to the test case when spec builders are used effectively?

• It becomes less reliable

• It requires more manual intervention

• It is reduced to a few lines

• It becomes more complex
