Demo project for API Testing Shared

[80Vikram]

Dear All,

I tried using serenity framework for RESTful api testing but couldn't find few basic answers.

For time being , I have automated some scenarios with REST-assured ( which is internally used by serenity )

https://github.com/vikramvi/RESTful-api-automation



One query , what benefits of using serenity framework over REST-assured for API testing ?

I read through past posts and there are quite a few who are already using serenity for API testing.

Kindly give your valuable feedback.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Vikram

The Serenity REST integration is simply a light wrapper around REST-assured that provides reporting capabilities. People often use Serenity for API testing for the reporting, and when acceptance tests can or need to be implemented against a REST API.

Hi John,

Thanks for detailed info.

I will try to automate test cases with serenity framework as well in this project itself.

Hi Vikram,

There is a test class in serenity-demos project that contains one Rest-Assured test scenario. Check https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-demos/blob/master/junit-webtests/src/test/java/net/thucydides/showcase/junit/features/petstore/AddAPetToThePetStoreTest.java

The sample above was enough for to start writing Rest-Assured tests in Serenity.

I have also wrote Rest-Assured tests in a data-driven way where test scenarios were amenable for that kind of test organization (mostly when I was testing for error cases - for my app, it was for the 400 status code, mainly). Check the relevant section in the Serenity doc. 

Note: I generated the Serenity doc from project: https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-documentation. Once doc is generated, you could access it at serenity-documentation/build/asciidoc/index.html#_data_driven_tests.

Best,

mircea

Hi Mircea,

Thanks for detailed info , I had looked at this example before jumping to REST-assured.

As I didn't get V2 auth working with serenity , I had to directly use REST-assured.

It'll be helpful if you have share a small project say with twitter / spotify etc , explaining basic scenarios testing with "serenity"

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Vikram
