Welcome to the Restful Booker Collection

The restful booker collection is a set of applications that can be used to practise a range of testing techniques. For example: API test automation, mocking, monitoring and exploratory testing.

Restful-Booker

Can you find all the bugs in this API?

Restful-booker is an API that you can use to learn more about API Testing or try out API testing tools against. Restful-booker is a Create Read Update Delete Web API that comes with authentication features and loaded with a bunch of bugs for you to explore.

Where is the API?

You can find the code for Restful-booker on GitHub here: [https://github.com/mwinteringham/restful-booker]

You can find a deployed instance at [https://restful-booker.herokuapp.com/]

The API comes pre-loaded with 10 records for you to work with and resets itself every 10 minutes back to that default state. It also comes with [detailed API documentation] to help get you started with your API testing straight away.

Restful-Booker-Platform

Unlike restful-booker, the application restful-booker-platform is a collection of Web APIs built using SpringBoot that form together to create a fake Bed and Breakfast website. Each API is responsible for a section of the site, for example the management of rooms and bookings.

As this is a more complex application the challenge with testing this site is understanding when to focus on individual API testing, and when to combine APIs in your testing.

It also comes with a ReactJS frontend that can be used for practising testing techniques beyond API testing.

The application is seeded with data for you to work with and resets itself every 10 minutes back to that default state.
