  2. Responses
  3. JSON Schema Validation

  5. Body validation

Advantages of Rest Assured

  1. Less code is written
  2. BDD like code-style

Interview Questions

  • What is the difference between Path Parameter and query parameter?
    • Path parameter is also called as URI parameter. It is used to identify specific resource.
    • Query parameter is used to filter/ sort resources.
    • Consider below example for the reference
Suppose you need to retrieve the record of an employee whose id is 15, In this we can use the concept of Path parameter

GET /employee/{id}

Now another use case is you need to retrieve the list of employees but only 10 at a time, in this case, we can use the concept of Query Parameter as shown below -

GET /employee?start=1&size=10

Testing in CI/CD

-
If you are part of testing fraternity you would have heard CI/CD numerous times by now. It's the talk of the software testing town. In this article, we will cover the basics of CI/CD, what actually it is and how it is implemented in software testing. What is continuous integration? In simple terms, development teams can integrate their code into a shared repository. This helps in maintaining code quality and identifying potential issues with the local version of the code at an early stage. What is continuous delivery? Everything that is being continuously merged by the development team, is continuously deployed to the live environment. Continuous delivery is often coined as ‘Continuous Deployment’ as well. Since most developers work in parallel, continuously integrating their code into one repository would mean that the master branch is continuously updated with new features. In order to ensure that there is no compromise in the code quality with so many changes
