Api Testing with Python Requests and Karate
4 Days
Intermediate
In this program, participants learn Requests & Karate and their use cases. Assuming little knowledge on participants-side, program starts with basics of Http and Api. It covers lot of ground for Pytest as well. Requests & Karate are free and open source rest api client library for Python. With extensive configuration, auth support, serilaization, and first-class features, they allow to rapidly create and execute automated rest api testing when combined with Pytest, very capable unit testing library. Participants learn how to use Requests & Karate to deal with rest api requests and responses for various usecases including authentition. Program allows participants to use Requests with Pytest & Karate to test any rest api with data driven testing. Sometimes, BDD is preferred for Api Testing. Karate helps completely to apply BDD. Program includes introduction to BDD with Karate and Requests. Program includes demos and hands-on.
Audience
Program is primarily for participants who must be software savvy testers and developers who aspire to use Requests with Pytest & Karate to efficiently conduct api testing using Python.
Prerequisites
Participant must be able to code in Python including standard library.
