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

# Attaching request and response in allure report 

In addition to the already-discussed dependencies for Allure like `allure-testng`, which adds every step of the test execution to the report, we can customize the report further and add a few additional capabilities to the report,  like attaching the request and response.

## `Rest Assured`

The following dependency will help to attach the requests and responses to the report while using `Rest Assured`:

### Gradle
```
compile 'io.qameta.allure:allure-rest-assured:2.13.2'
```

### Maven

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.qameta.allure</groupId>
    <artifactId>allure-rest-assured</artifactId>
    <version>2.13.2</version>
</dependency>
```

With this dependency being added, we need to configure a `Rest Assured` client to log the requests and responses so that the `allure-rest-assured` library can attach that to the report.

It can be configured in either of the following two ways:

* **Globally**

     To intercept all the requests and responses and attach it to the `Allure` report, the following piece of code can be added anywhere in our test code:

    ```
    static {
        RestAssured.filters(new io.qameta.allure.restassured.AllureRestAssured());
    }
    ```
* **Only for certain requests**

    We can configure a certain API's requests and responses to reports by adding `filter(...)`. This will ensure that only this API's request and response are logged.

    ```
    @Step
	public void getAllStudents() {
		
		Response response = RestAssured.given()
				.filter(new io.qameta.allure.restassured.AllureRestAssured())
				.get("http://ezifyautomationlabs.com:6565/educative/students")
				.andReturn();
		assertEquals(response.getStatusCode(), HttpStatus.SC_OK, "http status");
	}
    ```

The generated report will have both the requests and responses attached to it and look something like so:

In this lesson, we will understand the integration of Allure in a test.
