First, you will get an overview of the fundamental theory that surrounds Web APIs including how a Web API works and the necessary basic HTTP concepts that you need to get started. Next, you will learn about and get hands-on practice with various tools that can help you to automate tests and you will understand their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, you will write your own small testing framework in Java to achieve test automation. By the end of this course, you will have learned how to approach Web API test automation, decide what solutions are appropriate to your specific needs and the practical coding skills to achieve faster testing. All of this will serve you as a foundation to further develop a fully automated approach to testing within the SDLC.
