A Quick recap - 1
Congratulations !!
You authored your first REST API test, executed it from the command line (via Gradle task), Also saw the Allure report in few minutes.
Recap of capabilities
1) Generate POJO/Model classes
Using the IntelliJ Idea plugin we generated POJO/Model classes. This helps to avoid hand-coding the models.
2) Generate Retrofit Client class & API steps
Retrofit client classes are generated easily. After this importing postman collection helps to declare service methods. Once this is done, generate API step and call the service methods.
3) Gradle tasks to execute tests
We did not have to author Gradle tasks to execute tests. It is readily available. More can be created in the same lines on a need basis.
4) Allure reporting out of the box.
Nowhere we wrote code to create Allure reports
