An open source framework for web service testing (err.., for any/A-to-Z testing, I can dream right). If you are still not sold on karate, here is some good reading material:

• First and foremost beautiful documentation in karate README
• Easy assertions even for complex json schema: no problem
• Data driven testing again the README
• Want to mock (before dev team implemented) a service: World's Smallest MicroService
• For all BDD purists: want to highlight karate is not true BDD (also mentioned in README)

Enough already, show me some code:

• say hello to world, for the impatient:
  • to run: mvn test -Dtest=intro.HelloRunner
  • to view report: open target/surefire-reports/TEST-intro.hello-world.html
• who cares about a hello world show me something real: See Background, variables, request, header, params, response, status (TODO)

• Stitch a sequence of API calls as one test case (Scenario)
• JUnit/TestNG integration
• Code reuse, mix and match features, with javascript and java code

(TODO)

• json/xml first class citizenship, read/write from/to files
• how to keep secrets out of tests
• Switch configuration/profile (stage -vs- production)
• Pick and choose (test cases, test suites and all that jargon): want to run only smoke tests -vs- full regression

(TODO)

See the power of karate

• complex assertions
• data driven testing
• flexible logging

(TODO)

Didn't I promise karate for A-to-Z?

• performance testing: karate-gatling
• UI testing: karate-selenium
• mocking services: test doubles

(TODO)
