Karate DSL

GitHub is the best place to share code with friends, co-workers, classmates, and complete strangers. Over three million people use GitHub to build amazing things together.

Combines API test-automation, mocks and performance-testing into a single, unified framework. The BDD syntax popularized by Cucumber is language-neutral, and easy for even non-programmers. Besides powerful JSON & XML assertions, you can run tests in parallel for speed - which is critical for HTTP API testing.

Command instructions; Source browser; Git powered wikis; Integrated issue tracking; Code reviews with inline comments; Compare view; Newsfeed; Followers; Developer profiles; Autocompletion for @username mentions
Native support for both JSON and XML; Powerful payload assertions with "deep-equals"; Data-driven testing; Easy even for non-programmers; Embedded JavaScript engine; Test-doubles or HTTP mocking built-in; Re-use test scripts as performance-tests; Environment switching; Comprehensive reports, supported by all CI tools
