Karate Black Belt in REST API Testing
summary
Karate is presented as a readable text DSL (Gherkin-like) for testing REST APIs that calls endpoints, asserts JSON fields and headers, reuses fixtures, and embeds small JavaScript helpers via Nashorn. At Lectra it’s used to test 139 endpoints across 70 feature files, running the full suite under a minute in CI with parallel execution; noted limitations are the Nashorn dependency and breaking changes before a 1.0 release.
