Karate Framework: All-in-One Testing

Karate Framework: All-in-One Testing

🔍 What is Karate?

Karate is an open-source testing framework that enables API, Web UI, Performance, and Mock testing — all in a single, unified tool. It uses a simple Gherkin-style syntax, making it easy for both developers and testers to write tests.


🎯 Key Features

Feature Description

🧪 API Testing Supports REST, SOAP, GraphQL APIs with built-in assertions and JSON/XML handling.

🖥️ UI Testing Built-in WebDriver support for browser automation (like Selenium).

🚀 Performance Testing Supports Gatling integration for performance testing with reusability of API tests.

🛠️ Mocking Can mock HTTP services to simulate APIs under development.

🧾 Data-Driven Testing Easily loop through test data from tables or external files (CSV/JSON).


✅ Why Use Karate?

No Java code needed – write tests in .feature files


Built-in HTTP client – no need for separate libraries like RestAssured


Assertion syntax is concise – JSON matching is powerful and readable


Combines UI & API testing – easy end-to-end testing


Great for CI/CD – easy to run via Maven, Gradle, or CLI


📄 Example: API Test in Karate

gherkin

Feature: Get user details


Scenario: Get a user by ID

  Given url 'https://reqres.in/api/users/2'

  When method GET

  Then status 200

  And match response.data.first_name == 'Janet'

🧪 Example: UI Test in Karate

Feature: Google Search Test


Scenario: Search for Karate DSL

  * configure driver = { type: 'chromedriver' }

  Given driver 'https://www.google.com'

  And input('input[name="q"]', 'Karate DSL')

  When submit().click()

  Then waitFor('text contains "karatelabs"')

⚙️ How to Run Karate Tests

Handling Frames and Iframes Using Playwright

Handling Frames and Iframes Using Playwright When automating modern web applications, you’ll often come across frames or iframes—HTML elements used to embed another HTML document within the current page. If you're using Playwright for browser automation, knowing how to handle frames properly is crucial for interacting with elements inside them. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to identify, access, and interact with frames and iframes using Playwright with code examples in JavaScript and Python. 🧾 What Are Frames and Iframes? <frame>: Rarely used now; part of the outdated <frameset> HTML structure. <iframe> (inline frame): Embeds another HTML page inside the current one. Common for third-party content like ads, maps, or payment gateways. 🎯 Why Frames Matter in Automation Elements inside an iframe are not part of the main DOM, so trying to interact with them directly will result in errors unless you switch the context to the frame. 🔍 Locating an Iframe in Pla...
