REST Assured API Testing Environment

Enterprise API testing with Java, REST Assured, TestNG, and Allure reporting.

What's Inside

Quick Start

# Run all tests
ra-run

# Run smoke tests only
ra-smoke

# Run tests + generate Allure report
ra-allure

# Scaffold a new project
ra-init my-api-tests

Helper Commands

Exercises

1. REST Assured Fundamentals — GET, POST, PUT, DELETE with fluent BDD syntax
2. CRUD Operations — End-to-end API lifecycle testing
3. Authentication Testing — Bearer tokens, Basic auth, OAuth2 flows
4. Request/Response Specifications — DRY principle with reusable specs
5. JSON Schema Validation — Validate API response structure
6. Data-Driven Testing — TestNG DataProvider for parameterized tests
7. POJO Serialization — Java objects to/from JSON with Jackson
8. CI/CD Integration — GitHub Actions pipeline with Allure reporting

Tips

• Use given().when().then() BDD syntax for readable tests
• BaseTest.java sets up shared request/response specs — extend it for DRY tests
• TestNG groups (@Test(groups = "smoke")) let you run subsets with ra-smoke or ra-tag
• Allure annotations (@Epic, @Feature, @Story, @Severity) organize your report
• Ctrl+Shift+B runs all tests from the IDE

Security

• Root access is restricted. Use sudo apt install <package> for system packages.
• Java and Maven are whitelisted for sudo access.
• JVM memory is auto-tuned to 75% of pod limits — no manual tuning needed.
