Speed Up Your Selenium Tests: Test Data Preparation With Rest API

Performance is one of the main painful areas of UI test suits. Usually, engineers trying to login, logout, navigate, create data, execute an action from the UI via Selenium, then, in the end, performing test assertions. This creates serious performance issue for the Selenium suite and makes Selenium tests more brittle. We could face less problems if the test data creation and deletion will be done before UI test will start the run. This will help to create independent tests later to be able to run them in parallel

• 1 How to design the framework to be able to use HTTP requests 
• 2 How to create Test Data before test and clean up after test without UI actions
