Testing REST / JSON

[Jay]

We like to use WebUI Test Studio to perform testing of our API. The Test are very simple, a HTTP GET / POST call is made , JSON data is returned and we verify if the JSON data is good or bad.

The only issue is IE will try to save the JSON value when the content type is json.

Hi Jay,

WebUI Test Studio is a tool that automatically drives a browser, simulating a real user, and verifies the content displayed in the browser matches your expected values. WebUI does not do direct HTTP requests or directly fetch the responses from your web server. Unless there is some browser UI component to drive and verify with your API, then WebUI cannot be used for your API testing.

Hi Haseeb,

Thanks for writing. We are not able to make any recommendations without first better understanding your approach. Can you clarify how you intend to use Java to hit your web service? Also - do you plan on using Java or JavaScript?

Perhaps you could look into the WebAii Framework's HTTP Proxy Feature - it may be worth reading up on to see if it will help you out!

All the best,
