Writing API Tests with Karate

By: Benjamin Bischoff

Overview of this book

Software in recent years is moving away from centralized systems and monoliths to smaller, scalable components that communicate with each other through APIs. Testing these communication interfaces is becoming increasingly important to ensure the security, performance, and extensibility of the software. A powerful tool to achieve safe and robust applications is Karate, an easy-to-use, and powerful software testing framework. In this book, you’ll work with different modules of karate to get tailored solutions for modern test challenges. You’ll be exploring interface testing, UI testing as well as performance testing. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to use the Karate framework in your software development lifecycle to make your APIs and applications robust and trustworthy.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at different ways to configure and use Karate’s logging to make it fit our requirements.

After that, we looked at Karate’s built-in report, what information it provides, and how we can customize it. Then, we looked at how to switch the default report to another reporting solution or use third-party solutions as an additional source of information. Finally, we took a quick look at the more specialized Surefire and JUnit XML files and how they can be used.

In the next chapter, we will delve into some of the more advanced Karate functions and concepts.
