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

# Building the project

Go to the project root and 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

**TestGetStudents**

```
./gradlew clean build test --tests "io.educative.soap.tests.TestGetStudents"
```

**TestIntegrationFlow**

```
./gradlew clean build test --tests "io.educative.soap.tests.TestIntegrationFlow"
```

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

# Generated report paths
 * **TestNG** - `./build/test-results/test/`
 * **Allure** - `./build/reports/test-output/allure-reports/index.html`
 * **Gradle** - `./build/reports/tests/test/index.html`

# How to open an Allure report from the command line

Once the test execution is complete, please go to the project root and run the command below to open the Allure report:



```
./gradlew allureServe
```

The command above will open a report similar to the following one:

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