Karate Reviews

Karate Description

Karate is the only open source tool that combines API test automation, mocks and performance-testing into a single framework. Cucumber's BDD syntax is language-neutral, making it easy for non-programmers. You can run parallel tests for speed and have assertions and HTML reports built-in. For teams that are not familiar with Java, there is a standalone executable that can be run on any platform. You don't need to compile code. You can simply write tests in a simple and readable syntax - designed for HTTP, JSON GraphQL, XML, and GraphQL. You can also mix UI and API test automation in the same test script. It is worth noting that JSON is a first-class citizen' syntax. This means that you can express your payload and expected data without using double-quotes. You also don't have to include JSON field names within quotes. You don't need to 'escape" characters as you would in Java or other programming languages.
