REST API Automation Testing from Scratch - REST Assured Java - Library API Postman and REST Assured Examples

The video tutorial covers setting up and executing API requests using Postman, including GET, POST, and DELETE operations. It explains handling API responses and transitioning to Rest Assured for more advanced testing. The tutorial also introduces using Java, JSON, and Excel for API testing, providing a comprehensive guide to automating API tests.

What is the primary purpose of importing the Postman project?

• To automate the testing process

• To create a new API

• To manually test each endpoint

• To view the project structure

What must be unique when sending a POST request in Postman?

• The identifier

• The response format

• The request method

• The URL

What happens if you try to retrieve a deleted book by its ID?

• The book is automatically re-added

• An error message is shown

• The request is ignored

• The book details are displayed

Which HTTP method is used to delete a book in Postman?

• PUT

• DELETE

• POST

• GET

What is the first step in setting up a Rest Assured test?

• Importing the Postman project

• Setting up the headers

• Writing the test logic

• Defining the base URL

What is the purpose of setting headers in a Rest Assured test?

• To authenticate the request

• To specify the content type

• To set the response format

• To define the request method

How can you convert a JSON response to a Java string?

• Manually parsing the response

• Using a string builder

• Using a utility method

• Using a JSON parser

What utility method is used to handle JSON responses in the lecture?

• jsonToString()

• parseJson()

• JSON.toString()

• rawToJson()

What is the outcome of a successful test run in Rest Assured?

• The test is skipped

• The test fails

• The book is not added

• The book is successfully added

What future topic is hinted at the end of the lecture?

• Data-driven testing with Excel

• Implementing a new API

• Creating a new test framework

• Using Postman for manual testing
