I am trying to generate Cucumber reports for Rest-Assured (RESTful API) and I am also keen to capture request / response in the cucumber reports. I was wondering if anybody has already implemented this or can provide some pointers.
You can try Gherkin/BDD with QAF for web service testing and in the report it gives request and response for each request.

Currently, I am working on a project on Spring Boot where we are integrating with external REST API. As part of our integration suite test, we are doing the mock test of the actual external API which executes as part of the CI/CD.
My question is in production it calls the actual API so, how we can do that in the test environment. I don't think we need to make the actual external provider call during multiple integration test which will load the external API, also at the same time would like to test with actual REST response from the service.
Any suggestions?
If the public API has a swagger description, you could use the Atlassian Pact Swagger Validator. I describe the workflow in this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79GKBYSqMIo#t=39m10s
Another alternative would be to create a mock API for the external service. There are some free services like https://mockfirst.com, https://www.mockable.io/, etc. where you can do that.
I am using jmeter version 3.2 for REST API testing but i am not getting the API test request sampler in this version. Anyone who is working on the same version please let me know the option. Currently i am test the API through HTTP request sampler.
What do you mean by API test request? You should be able to test either SOAP or REST API endpoints using HTTP Request sampler, you will just need to add HTTP Header Manager to send Content-Type header, in your case it will most likely be application/json

I need to know if we can implement Jmeter script with the RestAssured framework?
Theoretically yes, given you copy RestAssured .jar file along with dependencies to JMeter Classpath you should be able to use its methods from JSR223 Test Elements or reuse your existing tests via JUnit Request Sampler
However it would be much better to use JMeter's HTTP Request samplers as in this case you will be able to access networking metrics such as Connect Time and Latency, automatic failures on HTTP Status Codes above 399, Cookies, Headers, and Authorization management, etc.
See REST API Testing - How to Do it Right article to learn how to build an API test plan using JMeter
I am trying to learn web service testing using jmeter.Can anyone tell me how to proceed which samplers and request should i use.How should i practice as I am not having any web service to test.
Thank you
The recommended test element for web service testing is "usual" HTTP Request sampler.
You can get a minimal web service test plan (it includes a web service endpoint by the way) in a couple of clicks like:
JMeter Main Menu -> File -> Templates -> Building a SOAP WebService Test Plan -> Create

We have created an soap request and sending the request using WebServiceTemplate
WebServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(request)
As my client is not ready with the server. I am trying to handle this request in my local and planning to post some dummy response.
Can you help me how I can mock this response?
If you are using CXF, see my JUnit Rule utility project. It creates an Endpoint using JaxWsServerFactoryBean.
