REST API Automation Testing from Scratch - REST Assured Java - Defining Path Parameters in REST Assured Code Using Add C

The video tutorial covers automating JIRA tasks using REST APIs, focusing on adding comments and attachments to issues. It introduces advanced REST Assured concepts like session filters, handling query parameters, and HTTPS validation. The practical section demonstrates coding in Java to implement these tasks, emphasizing the importance of session IDs and path parameters.
