RestApiTesting.Framework.Leopard

This is a RESTful API testing Framework using Java, Maven, JUnit, REST Assured and Jackson to test JSONPlaceholder REST API.

Project Natures

Maven

Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. https://maven.apache.org/

JUnit

JUnit is a simple framework to write repeatable tests. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks. https://junit.org/junit4/

JSONPlaceholder

JSONPlaceholder is a free online REST API that you can use whenever you need some fake data. It's great for tutorials, testing new libraries, sharing code examples. https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/

Routes Tested

The following HTTP methods are tested:

• GET
• POST
• PUT
• PATCH
• DELETE

REST Assured

Testing and validating REST services in Java is harder than in dynamic languages such as Ruby and Groovy. REST Assured brings the simplicity of using these languages into the Java domain. http://rest-assured.io/

Jackson

Jackson is a high-performance JSON processor for Java. Its developers extol the combination of fast, correct, lightweight, and ergonomic attributes of the library. https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson

Integrated Development Environment

Eclipse IDE is used to develop this Framework.
