REST-API-Automation-Project

This project focuses on automating REST API tests using Robot Framework and the RequestsLibrary. It includes sending a POST request to the Reqres API, validating the status code, and verifying the content of the response body. This setup aims to simplify API testing by automating repetitive tasks and ensuring that the API behaves as expected.

REST API Automation Project

Overview

This project automates REST API testing using Robot Framework and the RequestsLibrary. It interacts with the Reqres API to send POST requests, validate status codes, and ensure the correctness of response content. This is particularly useful for performing regression tests and validating API behavior.

Project Details

• Author: Enock Odhiambo Omondi
• Version: 1.0.0
• API: Reqres API
• Robot Framework Libraries:
  • RequestsLibrary
  • Collections

Test Case: Put_UsersLists

The test case sends a POST request to the Reqres API to create a user with the following steps:

1. Establishes a session with the base URL.
2. Sends a POST request with user details (name and job).
3. Logs the status code and response content.
4. Validates the status code to ensure it is 201.
5. Verifies the response body contains the expected user details (name: morpheus, job: leader).
