API Testing with REST Assured Java Competency (Intermediate Level)
- 30m
- 30 questions
The API Testing with REST Assured Java Competency (Intermediate Level) benchmark assesses your knowledge of comprehensive data-driven testing using TestNG and REST Assured while configuring authentication for API endpoint access and architecting clean, maintainable tests in REST Assured. You will be evaluated on your skills in executing API testing with Rest Assured and seamlessly integrating API testing into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Git, and GitHub. Learners scoring high on this benchmark demonstrate the skills necessary to proficiently work with TestNG and REST Assured for data-driven testing and logging and fault injection skills.
