Writing API Tests with Karate

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.

Configuring third-party report libraries

In this section, we will use the third-party reporting library Cluecumber (https://github.com/trivago/cluecumber). This is an open source project that is mainly used for turning Cucumber JSON into test reports. Since Karate can write the same JSON format as Cucumber, we can use any other reporting library that is Cucumber compatible.

Karate native versus JSON-dependent reports

Contrary to the native Karate reports, which are generated by the framework itself while the tests are running, JSON-dependent reports need to run after all the tests are completed.

Setting the appropriate Karate options

By default, Karate does not produce JSON files of its test runs. It also creates report files, which we need to suppress since we want to plug in our own reporting library:

@Test
void testParallel() {
    Results = Runner.path("classpath:reporting")
        .outputCucumberJson...
