Learning Path

Basic

3 days
  • Understand REST architecture, HTTP methods, and status codes
  • Use Postman/REST client tools for manual API exploration
  • Write your first automated API tests with REST Assured (Java)

By the end: You can test REST APIs both manually and with basic automation.

Intermediate

3 days
  • Design a structured API test framework with reusable components
  • Implement authentication testing (Basic, OAuth 2.0, JWT)
  • Build data-driven API tests with external data sources
  • Test complex scenarios: chained requests, file uploads, error handling
  • Integrate API tests into CI/CD pipelines with reporting

By the end: You can build and maintain an automated API test suite for production services.

What You'll Receive

  • Hands-on lab exercises and a sample code repository to keep
  • Course slides and reference guides for every module
  • Session recordings for review after class
  • Certificate of completion
  • A post-course support window for follow-up questions
