How to pass Query String Parameters in GET url using Rest Assured?

I have the following format in URL. http://username:password@test.nabin.com/some/url Here password is something like qDTA*$X)ME/74 . When I directly use this password in URL, then the postman does not respond. How should I proceed testing this url? (In the image the response container is plain white without any error. This indicates, the API was never hit) You can manually encode parts of the URL within the application. These are the docs from version 6. https://www.getpostman.com/docs/v6/postman/sending_api_requests/requests Under the URL section: “Note: Parameters you enter in the URL bar or

I'm new to using applications to test backend APIs. I've always just manually tested using the front-end applications. What I would like to do is to use an app that is designed specifically for backend API testing. So far, I've been directed to SoapUI, Postman, and Runscope. But I'm at a loss as I am more of a test analyst than I am a programmer, despite having experience automated testing in Selenium with JavaScript, Python and Ruby. Any suggestions? Thoughts? Warnings? (I posted this to the QA page, too, so sorry for the duplicate question) SoapUI is not a paid tool. It has a Open Source

I'm writing a framework for RESTful API test automation, I already decided to go with REST Assured, I'm not 100% sure about add a layer to allow define tests using a domain specific language like Gherkin, therefore adding a BDD framework like Cucumber. What is your opinion? Is a good approach to use BDD in API automation testing? I am currently using BDD for RestAPI Testing. Here is pros and cons for BDD RestAPI Automation framework. Technology We used: Cucumber,Java,Rest-Assured and junit Following pros and cons are my own comment or personal view. It is based on my experience. Pros: Easy to

A very small mistake in your code. It is supposed to be get("

I'm very new to API testing. I'm trying to make use of Google Chrome's developer tools to understand and explore this subject. Question 1: Is it possible to get the response (possibly in JSON format) of a simple GET request using chrome developer tools? What I'm currently doing is: Open chrome developer tools Go to Network tab Clear existing logs Send a post request simply by hitting a URL. e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask Check the corresponding docs loaded Question 2: What are the relevance "Reponse Headers" shown on the image above? I mean, am I correct to think that this is the

I'm testing bunch of API calls using POSTMAN. Instead of adding authorization header to each request, can I make it as a part of POSTMAN environment? So, I don't have to pass it with every request. Yes, you can do this through Postman by assigning your header as an environment variable, let's say authorization , as follow: then set you environment variable with its value as follow: postman usually remembers your key-value pairs you send in header. So there is no need to add headers each request. Anyway you can configure a "Preset" with your auth token. In contemporary releases of Postman, you

I need to create data driven unit tests for different APIs in karate framework. The various elements to be passed in the JSON payload should be taken as input from an excel file. A few points: I recommend you look at Karate's built-in data-table capabilities, it is far more readable, integrates into your test-script and you won't need to depend on other software. Refer these examples: call-table.feature and dynamic-params.feature Next I would recommend using JSON instead of an Excel or CSV file, it is natively supported by Karate: call-json-array.feature Finally, if you really wanted to, you
