Karate Reviews and details

• Cucumber Maintainer out of Job and future of the project is uncertain

  This is why we need better tools which will give benefits for the added complexity. If you need to create both the feature files AND the code, it's just complexity with little benefits. But frameworks like https://github.com/karatelabs/karate are hiding this complexity and remove the code layer entirely. Which, in my view, this is where you need to be in 2023, particularly for API testing. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Lama2: Plain-Text Powered REST API Client for Teams

  Congrats on the launch ! I'm the lead dev of [Karate](https://github.com/karatelabs/karate) and the IDE and traditional solutions fall short. I hope Karate's syntax passes your "memory friendly" test :) We get regular feedback is that it is easy to read and even non-programmers can pick it up. One thing I feel we do really well is chaining of HTTP requests. And we have plugins for... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text

  I recently found a BDD style tool that has native HTTP comprehension, which seems like it hits a similar area in the testing concept space: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Hurl 1.8.0, text based integration tests for REST APIs and web sites

  I'm doing something similar but taking the approach of karate framework making it a kitchen sink of e2e testing tools. Love to see another rust based solution! I might open source mine at some point, I've implemented curl + webdriver, I will expand to support other things in my stack like desktop automation. Source: over 1 year ago

• Automated testing

  We use karate to test our fully integrated graphql backend. Has Gherkin language support. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Best test automation tool for REST APIs

  Karate is a BDD tool for testing APIs. My experience with it is limited but positive. It’s probably your best option if you want to do BDD. Other then that I used Python and the requests package, ugly but works great, and Newman the Postman command line utility with some JS test code. https://github.com/karatelabs/karate. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Selecting a Load And Performance Testing Framework - Gatling vs. Grafana k6

  As we are using Karate DSL for API testing, a straightforward choice would be to go with Gatling, as it nicely integrates with Karate DSL, and we can reuse our existing tests for performance testing. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• How long would it take to learn programming part time, enough to be hireable?

  Karate framework is pretty good for bdd tests and useful for restful services. Https://github.com/karatelabs/karate. Source: over 2 years ago

• Testing your GraphQL API with Karate DSL

  Just posted this tutorial for unit testing a GraphQL API with Karate DSL (https://github.com/intuit/karate) - if you're interested in the code for the demo you can check that out here as well (https://github.com/martin-hasura/testing-hasura-api-karate). Source: about 3 years ago

• Best frameworks for end to end testing (Java)?

  I can offer this - I use Karate (https://github.com/intuit/karate) to perform tests against the REST API in an ordered way, if necessary, such that the running backend (usually in an EC2 instance) can receive those requests in such an order that I can test end-to-end a whole process. The issue may be DB cleanup later (you may want to configure a script to restore a backed up version). Source: about 3 years ago
