Atomic Talk Title: From tester to (part time) developer: the story behind RestAssured .Net

 

For years, REST Assured has been one of the most popular libraries for writing tests for HTTP-based APIs. Unfortunately, until recently it has only been available for Java. But there’s good news: you can now also leverage the power of REST Assured when you’re using C#, thanks to RestAssured .Net.

In this talk, you’ll learn about the reasons I started developing RestAssured .Net, what I learned in the process, how testers can get started contributing to open source projects like RestAssured .Net, and what I learned about open source software development in the process.

You’ll also see RestAssured .Net in action in a short live coding demo.

Talk Takeaways

  • RestAssured .Net makes writing tests for HTTP-based APIs in C# fun
    again.
  • Testers can contribute to open source software projects, and even
    start their own, too
