Automating and Testing a REST API: A Case Study in API testing using: Java, REST Assured, Postman, Tracks, cURL and HTTP Proxies

Awesome resource from an amazing teacher!

I gave this 4 stars and deducted one - Alan is a great teacher but why oh why use TRACKS as an example?This is one of the worst things you can do to learn API - unless you know someone who can set up a VM using an image of tracks, you need install Ruby, Bundler, SQL Express (or SQL Lite) then if you are behind a proxy, create a bunch of connections strings to set your proxy creds to enable ruby to download gems. Then figure out why, even with proxy's configured - you can't download bundles.This is way too much "setup" just to learn API Testing.Alan, please - come up with a better example. I just spend three hours trying to get bundle to install on my system behind a corporate proxy. Gave up, put your book back on the shelf and opened postman,

Does not cover data-driven TestNG testing.

It is not as in depth as I had hope. I bought other books from this author and they are much better. I am disappointed with this one.
