TestNG SOAP

In software development, microservices and APIs are used for writing business logic. API testing has become an important component in the testing cycle, as it can be used to test the functionality, integration flows, load and performance.

In this course, you will learn how to perform REST and SOAP API test automation. This course covers all the required details for you to start writing API and integration tests from scratch. It will also prepare you for test automation interviews.

As part of the course, you will be able to download a sample API automation framework. You can use this for writing automation tests of modules or applications, or just extend and customize it for your own use

# What is an async request?

Synchronous request blocks the execution of server code until the response is received, whereas asynchronous request (async in short), does not block the execution and returns a callback to the client which can be used to receive the actual data once the execution is complete. 

# Handling async requests

`REST Assured` does not support async requests out of the box. We can automate these use cases using a third-party open-source library.

We will be using `asynchttpclient` for the same and to use this, let's add below dependency to our build file.

**Maven**

Add this in the *pom.xml* file:

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.asynchttpclient</groupId>
    <artifactId>async-http-client</artifactId>
    <version>2.12.0</version>
</dependency>
```

**Gradle**

Add this in the *build.gradle* file:
```
compile group: 'org.asynchttpclient', name: 'async-http-client', version: '2.12.0'
```

Let's now understand how we can handle async requests using the code below:

In this lesson, we will learn how to handle async Requests for APIs.
