Thanks for letting me know about SoapUI for REST and Arquilian, I &nbsp;am new to it. We will explore.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Hi experts,<br />
<br />
We are developing a REST based product using the following technologies<br />
<br />

<div class="bullet">
Java
</div>
<div class="bullet">
MySQL as database

<div class="bullet">
HTML5, CSS 3, jQuery, JavaScript, Bootstrap as the front-end

Jersey framework

<div class="bullet">
Tomcat as the application server

<div class="bullet">
JSON as the producer/consumer
</div>
<br />
The team is having a good knowledge in Java, JavaScript and jQuery. In order to test REST API as well as the front-end, which is the best framework in the market (preferably the free ones and also easy to learn as we need to complete the test automation in a month - 4 weeks)<br />
<br />
Any good books on the subject?<br />
<br />
Where to start?, please advice.<br />

Automation Testing for REST API - Where to start?

Representational state transfer (REST) is an architectural style that gives a coordinated set of constraints to the design of components in a distributed hypermedia system used to design networked applications. RESTful systems typically communicate over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with the same HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) that web browsers use to retrieve web pages and to send data to remote servers. REST interfaces with external systems using resources identified by Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be operated upon using standard verbs.

REST

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Java

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

JavaScript

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.
