Let’s start our course from a short introduction of the Rest Assureds history. REST Assured is developed and maintained by Johan Haleby with the help of numerous other contributors over the years. This guy is a Software Developer interested in architecture, distributed systems, DevOps, as well as Founder of PowerMock, Awaitility, Occurrent, and, of course, Rest Assured. Johan started the project when he was working at Jayway back in December of 2010. The project is now sponsored by Parkster.
