How to Perform Request & Response Specification in Rest Assured | API Testing Tutorial | Day 16

Hey BugHunters, In this video we are going to discuss Request & Response Specification in Rest Assured and Static import in Java.

This is part of the video serious REST Assured API testing Beginner Tutorial

P.S:
This is Day 16 of the 30 days of API Testing challenge Series. Where will learn the Basics before jumping to API Automation.

✅ What is Static members in Java?

We can use static with a variable, method , inner class and blocks.
They are associated with the class not with the object.
You can use them without instantiating the class.
A static variable of a class is shared by every instance of that class.

✅ What is Specification?

If you are using a multiple tests and want to avoid duplicate request parameters and response, You can use the specification object.
There are two types of specification builder Java classes as mentioned below:
- RequestSpecBuilder
- ResponseSpecBuilder

✅ What is Static members in Java?

We can use static with a variable, method , inner class and blocks.
They are associated with the class not with the object.
You can use them without instantiating the class.
A static variable of a class is shared by every instance of that class.

✅ What is RequestSpecification?

It used when a few common parameters are needed for multiple and/or different tests while creating a request.

✅ What is Response Specification?

This is used to validate a common response or a response needed for multiple tests from the body. We can also merge additional body expectations must all be fulfilled for the test to pass.

✅ What is Rest Assured?
REST Assured is a Java library that provides a domain-specific language (DSL) for writing powerful, maintainable tests for RESTful APIs. I'll be using real-world code examples you can copy, run, and reuse directly in your own test automation efforts

@The Testing Academy Hello, your videos are awesome, watching them we can go in depth in the subject. Question: How Can I "log" the "response body" using ResponseSpecification?

[tarikgulsever]

great expiation thank you for your time effort

[snehasishdas]

As per my understanding, 7:03 its the base url and not the endpoint, api/users would be the endpoint

can I pass invalid XML request using this for negative testing?

Hi Pramod, how do you give post() in request spec?

Hello Sir, can we do it in vscode.. I tried finding but failed
