Day 1: Introduction to Rest Assured

Day 1: Introduction to Rest Assured Introduction:

Rest Assured is a popular Java-based testing library that is used to automate API testing. It is widely used in the software development industry and has gained popularity due to its ease of use and flexibility. In this blog post, we will provide a comprehensive guide for beginners to introduce Rest Assured and explain its basic concepts.


Body:

The first step to understanding Rest Assured is to understand what it is and what it can be used for. Rest Assured is a Java-based testing library that provides a simple and easy-to-use interface for testing HTTP-based APIs. It allows developers to write automated tests for RESTful web services and validate the response from the server.


The next thing to understand is HTTP methods and request/response objects. HTTP methods refer to the various types of requests that can be made to a server, such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. These methods are used to retrieve, create, update, and delete resources on a server. Request objects in Rest Assured refer to the information that is sent from the client to the server, such as headers, query parameters, and request bodies. Response objects refer to the information that is sent back from the server to the client, such as headers, status codes, and response bodies.


To use Rest Assured, you need to have a basic understanding of Java programming language. Rest Assured is a Java-based library, and you will need to write Java code to create test cases. The library provides a fluent API that makes it easy to write tests for your APIs.


Rest Assured is built on top of the popular testing framework, JUnit. This means that you can use all of the features of JUnit, such as annotations and assertions, to write your tests. Rest Assured also provides a number of built-in assertions and matchers that make it easy to validate the response from the server.


Conclusion:

In conclusion, Rest Assured is a powerful testing library that is widely used in the software development industry. In this blog post, we have introduced Rest Assured and explained its basic concepts, including HTTP methods, request/response objects, and Java programming. With this knowledge, you can begin to write Rest Assured tests that accurately and effectively test your API.

How to integrate Autoit with selenium

For handling Dialog boxes which are not web based, Then Autoit is the best Tool to handle this These are the following code should written in Selenium Selenium Code: try { String[] commands = new String[] {}; commands = new String[] { "Path" }; // location of Autoit EXE file Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands); } catch (IOException e) { } Autoit code: if WinWaitActive("File Upload") Then ;MsgBox(2,"window found","Found the window") WinActivate("File upload") Send("!n") Sleep(5000) Send("File path") SEND("{ENTER}") ;location of the file you want to a to the form and submit ;Send("!O") Else MsgBox(1,"TimeOut","Timed out") EndIf Here we need to create a Exe file for the Autoit script and that path should be mentioned in selenium code.

Reflection API

The Reflection API allows Java code to examine classes and objects at run time.The new reflection classes allow you to call another class's methods dynamically at run time. With the reflection classes, you can also examine an instance's fields and change the fields' contents. The Reflection API consists of the java.lang.Class class and the java.lang.reflect classes: Field, Method, Constructor, Array, and Modifier. Example program: import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException; import java.lang.reflect.Method; // calling method whose name we store in a variable public class ReflectionAPI { public static void main(String[] args) throws SecurityException, NoSuchMethodException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException { String x="sampleTest"; //String meth=read name from xls file Method method= ReflectionAPI.class.getMethod(x, String.class); method.invoke(method, "welcome"); System.out.

Collection API

CollectionAPI: The Java Collections API's provide Java developers with a set of classes and interfaces that makes it easier to handle collections of objects. In a sense Collection's works a bit like arrays, except their size can change dynamically, and they have more advanced behaviour than arrays. Example program: import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Hashtable; public class CollectionAPI { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) { int names[] = new int[5]; ArrayList list = new ArrayList (); list.add("Ramu");//0 list.add("Venu");//1 list.add("Raju");//2 System.out.println(list.size()); for(int i =0; i<=list.size(); i++) { System.out.println(list.get(i)); } // key - value // key - unique Hashtable table = new Hashtable (); table.put("name", "Hyderabad"); table.put("place", "Mumbai"); table.put("na
