REST Assured Assessment Test

The REST Assured Assessment Test evaluates an individual's proficiency in using REST Assured, a Java library designed for testing and validating RESTful web services.

A REST Assured Assessment Test evaluates candidates for:

1. RESTful Web Services Basics: Understanding of REST principles, HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), status codes, headers, and payloads.
2. REST Assured Library: Familiarity with the REST Assured library, including setup, configuration, and integration into Java projects using Maven or Gradle.
3. Request Specification: Ability to create HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) using REST Assured's Request Specification, specifying parameters, headers, authentication, etc.
4. Response Handling: Skills in handling HTTP responses using REST Assured, including validation of status codes, response headers, and response bodies (JSON, XML).
5. Assertions: Knowledge of using assertions in REST Assured to verify expected outcomes, such as validating JSON/XML response structures, specific data elements, or error messages.
6. Authentication and Authorization: Understanding of handling authentication mechanisms (Basic Auth, OAuth, JWT) in REST Assured tests, including setup and validation.
7. Test Automation: Ability to automate REST API tests using REST Assured within testing frameworks like JUnit or TestNG, organizing tests, and managing dependencies.
8. Data-Driven Testing: Proficiency in implementing data-driven testing with REST Assured, leveraging data sources (e.g., CSV files, databases) to parameterize tests and increase coverage.
9. Error Handling: Knowledge of handling exceptions and errors in REST Assured tests, ensuring robust test scripts that gracefully handle unexpected scenarios.
10. Integration and Continuous Integration (CI): Experience in integrating REST Assured tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI), executing tests automatically, and generating reports.
11. Best Practices: Awareness of best practices for writing maintainable and efficient REST Assured tests, including code readability, separation of concerns, and test data management.

The REST Assured Assessment Test is essential for assessing an individual's ability to effectively test and validate RESTful APIs using REST Assured, ensuring the reliability, functionality, and performance of web services in software applications.
