Coming up: RESTful Testing: How to work with RESTful API's using Apache's HTTPComponents and Java
The next series of blog posts will cover my latest project as an automation developer at Fitbit-Boston: Working with RESTful APIs, such as the one Stripe uses to process credit card transactions. Stripe graciously provides the general public a general use key to access their services. Topics covered:
Please note: I've only been an automation developer for a bit less than a year, and I have only been working with HTTP Components for a few weeks, which makes me this all brand-new to me, too. That is why I am attempting this project: By forcing myself to explain what I have been doing, it will deepen my knowledge.
I was wondering, if you are more experienced that I, if you could do a code review when I am finished? I will be publishing working code on my GitHub account. Feel free to add any comments or constructive criticism in the Comments section at the bottom of the page.
These blog posts will be starting this Tuesday, and will be published every Tuesday and Thursday until the project is complete. Subscribe to this Blog to get the latest posts via email.
Thank you for stopping by!
Happy Testing!
