Good introduction. I appreciated the clear steps, although some of the later modules could have used more examples.
Automated API Testing with JMeter: REST and SOAP Web Services
Learn to test and automate REST and SOAP web services using JMeter, mastering assertions, parameterization, and modern token-based authentication without writing code.
About this course
Modern applications rely heavily on APIs to connect services and deliver data, making robust API testing essential for software quality. JMeter offers a powerful, code-free environment to validate both REST and SOAP web services efficiently.
This written course guides you through the process of setting up, executing, and automating comprehensive API test suites. You will gain the skills to verify endpoint reliability, validate data payloads, and integrate testing into modern development workflows.
What you'll learn:
- Understand the fundamental differences between REST and SOAP web services and how API testing fits into the software lifecycle.
- Configure core JMeter components including Thread Groups, Samplers, Listeners, and Assertions.
- Validate API responses using JSON path assertions, XML assertions, and modern schema verification.
- Manage dynamic data using parameterization, CSV data sets, and user-defined variables.
- Handle secure APIs by configuring modern authorization methods, including token-based authentication (JWT) and API keys.
- Automate test execution using JMeter's command-line interface (CLI) for integration into modern CI/CD pipelines.
You will start by mastering foundational API and JMeter concepts before moving on to practical, step-by-step written tutorials that demonstrate how to construct real-world test plans. The progression ensures you build a solid understanding of assertions, parameterization, and automated execution.
This course is designed for quality assurance engineers, developers, and beginners who want to learn API testing without needing deep programming knowledge. No prior experience with JMeter or test automation is required.
