Karate framework - UI & API Automation

API Automation Made Simple using Karate Framework

Karate Framework for Beginners:

• API Automation with Karate Framework
• API Automation using Karate Framework

Karate Framework
Karate is an open-source general-purpose test-automation framework that can script calls to HTTP endpoints and assert that the JSON or XML responses are as expected. Karate is implemented in Java, but test scripts are written in Gherkin since Karate was originally an extension of the Cucumber framework.
Karate is built on top of Cucumber, another BDD testing framework, and shares some of the same concepts. One of these is the use of a Gherkin file, which describes the tested feature. However, unlike Cucumber, tests aren't written in Java and are fully described in the Gherkin file.
From this course, you will learn the following concepts:

• Karate configuration
• Overview of API with examples
• Overview on JSON with examples
• Live example of API calls
• Karate Framework
• GET/POST Request
• Data-Driven with Scenario Outline
• Creating Parallel runner
• Assertions
• Using match
• JSON Array matching
• Schema validation
• Fussy matcher: #string, #number
• Calling another feature
• Tags and Run with tags
• Karate runner configuration and karate options
• Report Generation
• Cucumber Report Generation
• Karate Report Generation

Scenario & Data Handling

• Examples on Scenario Outline: data to post request using scenario outline examples
• Reading data from csv file and using it in post request

JIRA Integration

• JIRA Trail account creation
• Overview of JIRA user API, capturing JIRA account ID, generating an access token, & converting curl command into a postman
• Basic Auth on JIRA for retrieving user information using GET
• Example of POST using JIRA Basic Auth
• JIRA POST with basic auth and accessing data from a CSV file

Configuration & Environment Setup

• Overview of karate-config file
• Create a karate-config file and add some data into it
• Use variables defined in the config file inside the scenario
• Update runner class to recognise karate config file
• Reading data from the karate config file and using it in the scenario
• Update runner class with environment-specific variables

Reporting & Execution
