Bootstrap Rest Assured

1. Inspect

1. Detect the build tool from pom.xml, build.gradle, or build.gradle.kts.
2. Detect the Java version from compiler settings, toolchains, or CI.
3. Detect the active test engine from dependencies and existing tests.
4. Detect existing HTTP test libraries before adding Rest Assured.

2. Choose a Baseline

1. Use JUnit 5 for new work unless the repository clearly standardizes on TestNG.
2. Use Rest Assured 6.x only when Java 17+ is available.
3. Use Rest Assured 5.5.x for Java 11 compatibility.
