Building an API testing framework using RestAssured and TestNG with data-driven testing
Below are the detailed outline and sample code for building an API testing framework using RestAssured and TestNG with data-driven testing- Project Structure ` api-testing-framework/ │ ├── src/main/java/ │ └── utils/ │ └── ExcelUtils.java │ ├── src/test/java/ │ ├── base/ │ │ └── BaseTest.java │ │ │ ├── testcases/ │ │ └── ApiTest.java │ │ │ ├── testdata/ │ │ └── TestData.xlsx │ │ │ ├── resources/ │ │ └── config.properties │ │ │ └── testng.xml │ ├── pom.xml └── README.md ` Step 1: Add Dependencies in `pom.xml` Ensure your `pom.xml` has the necessary dependencies for RestAssured, TestNG, and Apache POI (for Excel data handling). `xml <dependencies> <!-- RestAssured Dependency --> <dependency> <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId> <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId> <version>5.3.0</version> </dependency> <!-- TestNG Dependency --> <depen
