Karate: Beyond API testing
summary
Karate proves itself as more than an API tool by showing UI testing against a real browser (Chrome, headless or Docker), a local mock server that returns custom JSON and can be stateful, integrated UI+API flows where the mock replaces the data source, and visual testing that compares screenshots with percent diffs and rebase. Performance runs reuse scenarios via Gatling — example ramps 100 users in 10s. Demos run end-to-end, produce screenshots and reports, and actually work.
