Master API test automation using Karate framework

Description

API Test automation is a skill that is constantly in demand and individuals who possess the appropriate skill set are highly sought after. With virtually all web apps and services communicating over APIs today, API test automation as a skill has become even more important. Learn how to automate API tests using the Karate test framework - one of the world's most widely used test automation frameworks.

Karate is an open-source test automation framework that is specifically designed to make it easy to test web services, APIs, and microservices. It uses a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that is designed to be easy to read and write, making it accessible to developers and testers with varying levels of programming experience.

Key benefits:-

• Karate's DSL follows Gherkin-like syntax. This English-like syntax makes it easy to write tests even for non-programmers.

• It supports a wide range of protocols and data formats, including HTTP, REST, SOAP, GraphQL, JSON, XML, and more

• It's a Swiss knife because it provides a unified test framework for API testing, mocks, performance testing, and UI automation.

• It has native support for the "JSON" type, making wring test assertions and test inputs very easy.

• It provides an interface to Java and Javascript to write complex and custom tests

• Provides a rich set of tools and functions for performing a wide range of testing activities, including Request and response validation, Mocking and stubbing services, Parallel test execution, Test report generation, Integration with Continuous Integration (CI) tools

Karate is a powerful and flexible testing framework that can help teams to improve the quality of their web services and APIs while reducing the time and effort required to create and maintain automated tests.

This hands-on course is designed for individuals with no prior experience in API testing or programming, but who have a basic understanding of APIs and the importance of automation. It covers everything from installation and setup to complex API testing scenarios, providing you with a solid foundation to start your journey in API test automation.

Key Topics Covered:

• Framework Installation and setup

• Understanding the standard Karate project structure

• Validating REST GET, PUT, DELETE, POST APIs

• Working with request response headers, query parameters, cookies

• Working with complex responses using fuzzy matching

• Validating public as well as restricted/authenticated APIs

• Data-driven testing

• Interop with Java and Javascript code

• Custom test validation using Java interop

• Writing modular tests

• Environment switching

• Introduction to features like retry-until, before-after hooks

• Parallelizing test execution

Throughout this hands-on course, you'll learn the ins and outs of API test automation with the Karate Framework. You'll gain a deep understanding of the standard Karate project structure and how to validate REST APIs using GET, PUT, DELETE, POST. You'll also learn how to work with request response headers, query parameters, cookies, and complex responses using fuzzy matching.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in API test automation with the Karate Framework and the confidence to start testing APIs on your own. Join now and take your API testing skills to the next level with Karate Framework.
