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

# **`given()`**

It is used in building the DSL expression request with any additional information like headers, params, message body, authentication, etc., before making any `HTTP` *Request* like `POST`, `GET`, `PUT`, `DELETE` using `given()` method.

Example 1:
```
RestAssured.given()
		.header("header1","value1")
		.header("header2", "value2")
		.param("param1","paramValue")
		.body(body)
		.post(url);
```

In the example above, before sending the `POST` request, *headers(...), params(...) and body(...)* are added to the request builder.

Example 2:

```
RestAssured.given()
        .get(url);
```
In this example, no extra information is added to the request builder before making a `GET` request. 


In this lesson, we'll learn how to build a DSL expression request using the Given/When/Then methods.
