REST API Automation Testing from Scratch - REST Assured Java - Performing REST Assured Automation Testing for the OAuth

The video tutorial covers automating API requests using Rest Assured. It begins with an overview of the objectives, followed by setting up the automation script. The tutorial then demonstrates executing a GET request and handling access tokens. It concludes with a discussion on the next steps, focusing on automating the authorization code process.

What is emphasized as crucial for automation in the introduction?

• Relying on tools

• Ignoring previous lectures

• Using shortcuts

• Conceptual understanding

What is the basic requirement discussed in the second section?

• To create a new endpoint

• To hit a specific endpoint and get a response

• To ignore query parameters

• To use only Postman for requests

Why can't Eclipse provide auto-suggestions for certain methods?

• Because they are dynamic

• Because they are private

• Because they are static

• Because they are deprecated

What is the main challenge when extracting responses?

• Using incorrect endpoints

• Ignoring response headers

• Handling missing access tokens

• Converting responses to XML

What is the purpose of the 'exchange code' request?

• To delete existing tokens

• To update the endpoint URL

• To obtain an access token

• To get a new client ID

What is the role of the JSON Path class?

• To convert JSON to XML

• To validate JSON schemas

• To parse and extract data from JSON responses

• To create JSON objects

What is the first step in integrating services?

• Obtaining the access token

• Ignoring query parameters

• Skipping the authorization code

• Logging all details

What is logged to understand the requests being sent?

• All request headers and endpoints

• Only the status code

• Only the query parameters

• Only the response body

What is the main issue if the test still fails after integration?

• Invalid client ID

• Incorrect endpoint URL

• Incorrect HTTP method

• Missing authorization code

What will be covered in the next lecture?

• How to automate the authorization code

• How to create new endpoints

• How to use Postman effectively

• How to ignore query parameters
