About Karate API

Karate is an open source library used to test the web services based on the plain English in the text file such as feature file and customize the automation requirement using javascript. You could automate the web service testing based on the below highlighted points associated with Karate;

• Support both SOAP and REST
• Schema validation
• Assert the response
• Response data chaining to next request
• Data elements comparison (Support both JSON and XML)
• Data driven approach
• Test Report generation

How to Assert – Expected vs Actual

Option 1:

And match response contains {mobId:’cce3e90273f5′}

Option 2:

* def banks =

  “””

  <banks>

    <bank department=”Accounts”>

      <name>current</name>

      <name>savings</name>

    </bank>

    <bank department=”loans”>

      <name>home</name>

      <name>mortgage</name>

    </bank>

  </banks>

  “””

* match banks //bank[@department=’loans’]/name == [‘home’, ‘mortgage’]

* match banks //bank[@department=’Accounts’]/name == [‘current’, ‘savings’]

Option 3:

When def responseCode =  response.responseStatus.responseCode

And assert responseCode == ‘RESPONSE_100’

Option 4: (Should be Scenario Outline) – If condition also included

And def endDate = response.responseInfoList[0].endDateStamp

When assert endDate == <endCompareDate>

When eval if(endDate == <endCompareDate>) karate.log(‘pass’)

Then print endDate

Examples:

|endCompareDate|

|1525107167000|

|1525107167001|
