The course has been designed to take you from beginner to expert in building a robust API automation framework.

You can complete this entire course on MAC, Windows on Linux.

Description

This course has been designed to simulate a real-world experience in building both a barebones Playwright and JavaScript API Automation framework and a Cucumber, Playwright & TypeScript API automation framework from the ground up for a fully-featured API.Upon completion, you will be able to apply your learnings and the automation framework you have built into your respective companies and projects. We are confident you will become an expert in building a world-class automation framework.Our course and the automation framework we will build together has been developed with guidance from some of the globes leading testing and software engineering professionals and because of that we believe we can offer an incredible course where we will:- Plan and roadmap your automation coverage with Postman.- Develop your API automation framework against a real API.- Build two end-to-end automation frameworks from the ground up for a full-featured end-to-end API.- Evolve your skills and continuously improve your automation framework as we progress through the course- Learn how to build an object-orientated – engineer-reviewed and approved automation framework.We want this course to be the best decision you have ever made for your personal growth when it comes to improving your knowledge and skills in API test automation framework architecture.Across many hours of exciting content, I will be at the bottom right of your screen instructing and cheering you along throughout the course. You will have everything you need to learn how to build a robust API automation framework.
