REST Assured. API test automation for beginners (Udemy.com)

Based on the knowledge of the instructor on REST Assured I would give a 5 star review. However, there was too much time spent dealing with non rest assured things. I think all the important REST Assured topics were covered, but could have been done so in less time. The bookings website used did not reduce or streamline the course either. Between the 10 minute reset and others updating it, I think removing it altogether from the course is advisable. Instead have an spring boot app that is preloaded, which allows for getting, inserting, updating, patching and deleting. The run the tests against that, this will allow for more predictable results, also some of the objects used could be used within the REST Assured tests and we need not create these pojo's. I created such an app here (the code here DOES lack the authorization stuff): https://github.com/warrengoldman/udemy-dmitry-shyshkin.git The above does NOT have all the REST Assured tests, but does have some important ones. But that shouldn't matter, I would start the course with NO tests, just have the controllers, models, service needed for it.

In genereal the course was usefull for someone who had no previous experience with rest assured. I give 4 stars because the course is based on a public api, which caused some chaos during the course. Also I think that after each topic/lesson. There should be more exercises to pracrtice what the tutor was teaching. For the future, I would suggest adding an additional section containing exercises and anwsers so we could practice more. Other than that, I think that this is in general good course for starting your rest-assured adventure.

Thanks for the course! I have a few comments. (1) As to me the speed of your speech is too low, I was watching the course with the x2 speed. (2) Please use the usual Java naming conventions for your classes and variables, like bookingId or BookingDates. (3) I would create all methods like updateBooking(), deleteBooking(), partialUpdateBooking() inside of the BaseTest - the same way as you did for the createBooking() method. Just to follow the same approach for all the methods. Again, thanks for the course!

I like the way he taught the course and with a little more practice I will be much better at it. I also like the way he was able to use Java in the course, you can get through the course even if you don't know anything about Java and if you decide to take Java you will have some familiarity with it. If I have any Cons on the course I will say using more than one API to test to get a better understanding.

I think the content was right at the level that I needed it to be and explanations were given where needed. However, I found when examples didn't go as expected due to other people changing the API calls to be distracting during the lecture videos and sometimes I would lose the point while these were resolved. Consider a more controlled environment when creating the videos, or to create specific data when creating the videos separate from the public API.

Hi, I find most of your courses very crisp and precise. Thanks for your effort. This course could have covered, little bit of framework creation as well. This course has more of concepts which useful, a simple framework which can be implemented in end to end project would be helpful. There was only one example with BDD commands. I suggest you to add more examples with BDD in-scope. Thanks again!

If you are more experienced it test automation and/or coding, you may be lacking of some things. But it is quite good for start with RestAssured. It would be better to use dedicated test endpoints or at least endpoint that is not affected so much by others (like at the time of recording ;) ) This might confuse slow down the learning (especially for beginners).

It's an awesome course !!!! Dmitry is a great teacher his lecturer are very clear and didactic and the course at all is organized with the topics very well with the access option to any code of each lecture by github in a easy and simple way Another thing Dmitry answer very fast to many of my question (even on the day the question was asked) Definitely this is one of the best course that I take in Undemy

Another good course. However, I spent a few hours trying to figure out how to fix the Serialization and De-Serialization part. Because it keeps failing in my end. Anyway, I still need to redo this course 1-2 more times to solidify everything that I have learned. But for now, I need to create my own mini API rest assured project and use the knowledge I gain so I can understand it better.

Dmitry explains every detail from the beginning to the end, code by code! Furthermore, as I suggest, topics would be covered with a little bit more detail. Sometimes, the lesson starts with so quickly. (especially the serialization part. First, we can learn what it is (just tiny reminder information) and then starting with how we can do it. Besides that, it was a really nice course to learn! Thank you for everything!
