API Testing using Node, Cucumber, VS Code & GitHub Copilot

About this course

Level up your API test automation skills using modern tools and AI — without sitting through a long, drawn-out course. This short, focused program is designed to respect your time while delivering real value fast. With over 3 hours of on-demand video, you’ll move quickly from environment setup to building a complete, portfolio-ready Node.js + Cucumber automation framework. No fluff. No filler. Just practical lessons you can finish and benefit from in a single weekend.

You’ll get access to a fully working Node.js test repository along with clear, example-driven module guides, so you always have real code and step-by-step references as you learn.

Throughout the course, you’ll work hands-on with Node.js, Cucumber (Gherkin), VS Code, GitHub Actions, and Docker, while leveraging GitHub Copilot as an AI coding assistant to speed up development, reduce busywork, and improve test quality.

Rather than artificial exercises, you’ll write automation against real-world APIs that teams actually use:

• REST APIs with Finnhub to pull live stock market dataSOAP APIs using a temperature conversion service
• GraphQL APIs with the Rick & Morty API to query characters and episodes
• WebSocket APIs with Bitstamp for real-time crypto pricingRPC APIs using Ankr’s Ethereum API to interact with the blockchain

Along the way, you’ll see exactly how AI with GitHub Copilot fits into a professional workflow — from drafting Gherkin feature files and generating Cucumber step definitions to refactoring tests and troubleshooting failures faster.

To wrap it all up, you’ll containerize your tests with Docker and wire everything into a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions, just like modern engineering t
