API Automation Framework 📋 Overview Comprehensive test automation framework for API testing, built with Java. The framework provides robust validation capabilities for JSON/XML responses, schema validation, and multi-environment support.

🏗️ Architecture

1. Core Components
2. Design Patterns
3. Builder Pattern: ApiRequestBuilder for flexible request construction
4. Page Object Model: Organized endpoint management
5. Factory Pattern: Environment and configuration management
6. Strategy Pattern: Multiple validation approaches

🛠️ Technology Stack

1. Core Language Java Main development language
2. Testing Framework TestNG Test execution and organization
3. API Testing RestAssured HTTP client and API interactions
4. Assertions SoftAssert Non-blocking assertion handling
5. Schema Validation JSON Schema Validator API contract validation
6. Logging Custom Framework Logger Structured logging and reporting
7. Build Tool Maven Dependency management
8. JSON Processing Jackson JSON parsing and manipulation

🔧 Key Features

1. Multi-Service API Testing
2. Advanced Validation Framework
3. Flexible Request Building Response response = new ApiRequestBuilder.Builder() .endpoint(RemedyAdminEndpoints.PROVIDER_LOOKUPS) .method(HttpMethod.GET.name()) .build().send();
4. Comprehensive Schema Management

:) Test Types

1. Contract Testing: JSON Schema validation
2. Integration Testing: Multi-service interactions
3. Regression Testing: Automated regression suites
4. Performance Testing: Response time validation

🎯 Validation Capabilities
