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

Learn REST and SOAP API Test Automation in Java

# Building the project

Go to the project root to run the following commands:

```
./gradlew clean build -x test
```


# Commands to run the test files from the command line

Go to the project root to run the command.

## Sample tests for reference

**GET request test**

```
./gradlew clean build test --tests "io.educative.api.tests.TestGET"
```

**POST request test**

```
./gradlew clean build test --tests "io.educative.api.tests.TestPOST"
```

**DELETE request test**

```
./gradlew clean build test --tests "io.educative.api.tests.TestDelete"
```

**Basic authentication test**

```
./gradlew clean build test --tests "io.educative.api.tests.TestAuthentication" 
```

**Hamcrest matchers test**

```
./gradlew clean build test --tests "io.educative.api.tests.TestHamcrestMatchers" 
```

**Async API test**

```
./gradlew clean build test --tests "io.educative.api.tests.TestAsyncAPI" 
```

> **Note:** Incase the test run is stopped manually, the server running on the port **6565** also needs to be stopped.

In this lesson, we will learn how to build and run the REST API tests using Gradle.
