REST Assured Practice Exam

REST Assured is a Java-based library which gives a domain-specific language (DSL) for testing RESTful web services. It makes it easy, the process of testing APIs by allowing users to send HTTP requests and validate responses in a more readable format. REST Assured supports XML and JSON response formats, and integrates with JUnit and TestNG. It is used for API validation and performance testing of RESTful APIs.
Certification in REST Assured certifies your skills and knowledge in using REST Assured to perform automated testing of RESTful APIs. This certification assess you to design, write, and execute API tests using REST Assured.
