RESTful Webservices Testing using REST-assured

Prerequisites Verify JSON via GET JsonPath Groovy Closures The JSON

Handling Basic Authentication

Verifying HTTP Header

Groovy Closures The Test

File Uploads
Registering Custom Parsers

Specification Reuse

Status Codes, Headers

Were going to need a JDK and REST-Assured jars.. Java Development Kit >= 6 The full tutorial and the RESTful Webservice to test can be found at my blog www.hascode.com
