Course Overview
Modern applications rely heavily on APIs to connect services and deliver seamless user experiences. This course equips learners with the skills to test RESTful APIs effectively using industry-standard tools such as Postman and REST Assured. It provides a strong foundation in API validation, automation, and quality assurance practices.
Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, participants will learn how to create and manage Postman collections, execute automated tests using Newman CLI, and build scalable test frameworks using REST Assured with Java. The course also introduces mock servers and contract testing to simulate and validate service interactions.
By the end of the programme, learners will be able to design comprehensive API tests, automate workflows, and integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines. This prepares participants for roles in QA automation, backend testing, and software quality engineering.
