Automating Tests for REST APIs Using Postman

On how to set up automation of API tests. From the first test to setting up CI. After completing the course, you will be able to set up an autotest system for your REST methods, even if there was no automation at all in the project before!

In the course we will write autotests for API methods in the Postman program. We will go through the full cycle - from the first autotest to setting up CI (Continuous Integration). From Math.random to loops and conditions. From simple include to regular expressions. This course is suitable for you if:

1. You don’t know how to automate - Postman gives an excellent and simple start.
2. You test APIs with a black box - for example, this is a “foreign” API, and you work in an integrator

After completing the course, you will be able to set up an autotest system for your API methods, even if there was no automation at all on the project before!

The main feature course - LOTS of practice! There are 55 (!) mandatory homework assignments on the course. The training lasts 14 weeks (3.5 months) - 13 lessons and a week at the end for “tails”.

The course does not talk about how to test rest methods. If you have never tested an API before, you might want to take the REST API Testing course first. Here we will deal specifically with automation, writing code.

Entry threshold! I assume that you:

1. Know English at the reading level with a dictionary/Google translate." We will also test the JIRA API using standard documentation, which is in English. You must read the description of the method and understand it.
2. You know any programming language at school level or “read a book about it 3 years ago” - don’t faint from the words “variables”, “arrays”, you know What are the data types and comparison operators? The trainer will talk about these concepts with examples, but it will be easier for you if you read something in advance. Look at this part of the lecture, if it is not clear, then it’s too early for the course.
3. You know how to test: you know about equivalence and boundary classes meanings. For more details, see the "Questions and Answers" block
