What is Karate Test Automation?

Karate Test Automation is an open-source framework designed for API testing and automation. It allows testers and developers to create tests for REST APIs, SOAP services, and web UIs using a simple, readable syntax based on Gherkin. Karate combines API testing, test automation, and performance testing in one tool, making it easier to write and maintain tests without extensive programming knowledge. Its features include support for data-driven testing, HTTP calls, assertions, and integration with CI/CD pipelines.
