Java REST Assured Interview Study

Guide (6+ Years Experience)


This guide is designed for experienced API Automation Engineers preparing for senior-level
interviews.

1. What is REST Assured?


REST Assured is a Java library for testing REST APIs. It provides a fluent DSL for sending
HTTP requests and validating responses.
import static [Link].*;

given()
.baseUri("[Link]
.when()
.get("/api/users/2")
.then()
.statusCode(200);

2. HTTP Methods
GET retrieves data, POST creates, PUT replaces, PATCH partially updates, DELETE removes
resources.

3. Request Specification
Reusable request configuration avoids duplication.
RequestSpecification req = given()
.baseUri(BASE_URL)
.header("Authorization","Bearer <token>")
.contentType([Link]);

4. Response Validation
Validate status, headers and body using Hamcrest matchers.
given()
.when().get("/api/users/2")
.then()
.statusCode(200)
.body("[Link]", equalTo(2))
.header("Content-Type", containsString("application/json"));
5. Serialization & Deserialization
Convert Java objects to JSON and JSON back into POJOs.
User user = new User();
[Link]("John");
given().body(user).post("/users");

// Deserialize
UserResponse response = given().get("/users/2").as([Link]);

Sample Interview Questions


No. Question Answer
1 1. What is REST Assured? REST Assured is a Java DSL
for automating REST API
testing with built-in request
building and response
validation.
2 2. Difference between PUT PUT replaces the entire
and PATCH? resource whereas PATCH
updates only specified
fields.
3 3. What is It stores reusable request
RequestSpecification? configuration such as base
URI, headers and
authentication.
4 4. How do you perform Use .header("Authorization"
Bearer Token ,"Bearer <token>") or
authentication? OAuth2 support.
5 5. Explain API Chaining. Extract values like token or
ID from one API response
and reuse them in later
requests.
