Let's Test: How to setup RESTAssured test framework with Java 16, Maven, and Spring Boot
RESTAssured is one of my favorite test frameworks, for REST API testing. Sure, there are others (to be included in my future videos) - but somehow I'm fond of the approach here. RESTAssured lets me write nice BDD-style API tests, and do Test-First development when I feel like it.
This video is about how to set things up in a nice way so that everything works. It's a 16-minute video, but feel free to fast-forward, skip, pause, etc, because, you know, it's a video. :) There are some things the documentation does not tell, and I'm showing a working solution here. You can also get it from my Git link below.
This video is based on a simple Spring Boot REST service base project I did in an earlier video. If you haven't seen that one, you should really start there. Most of the content here is Maven-heavy, I'll do a more focused video in the future on RESTAssured tool alone if there's demand for it.
As always, if I have managed to improve your life even a bit, or amuse you for a minute, feel free to show that love by commenting and liking the video.
