What is Rest Assured?
Rest Assured is a popular Java-based library used for testing RESTful web services. It is widely used in the software industry for automating API testing in a simple and efficient manner. Rest Assured makes testing API endpoints easier by providing a simple and intuitive DSL (Domain Specific Language) that enables developers to write automated tests in a readable and concise manner.
Some of the key features of Rest Assured include:
- Fluent API: Rest Assured provides a fluent API that allows developers to write concise and readable tests.
- Request specification: Developers can set up a request specification that defines the request method, headers, cookies, and query parameters.
- Response specification: Developers can also define a response specification that specifies the expected response code, headers, and body.
- Validation: Rest Assured provides a range of validation methods that enable developers to check the response status, headers, and body.
- Support for different data formats: Rest Assured supports JSON, XML, and plain text response formats.
