A blog for Day 1 (Part 1): Introduction to REST-Assured Automation

REST (Representational State Transfer) is a software architecture style that defines a set of constraints for creating web services. RESTful web services allow for communication between different systems over HTTP. This makes it possible for systems to easily exchange information and perform actions remotely.

REST Assured is a Java library for testing RESTful APIs. It allows developers to write tests for their REST APIs in a simple and intuitive manner. The library provides a set of methods that make it easy to perform HTTP requests, extract response data, and validate the response against expectations.

In this 7-part series, we will explore REST Assured and learn how to use it to automate the testing of RESTful APIs. Our focus will be on learning how to write tests that are clear, concise, and easy to maintain.

In the next part of this series, we will dive into the basics of REST Assured and learn how to set up a test project. We will also look at some of the key features of REST Assured and how they can be used to test RESTful APIs. Stay tuned for more!
