Open-source API & UI test automation
Improving business performance through software development requires enterprises to empower developers, for not just speed but also to tap into the full potential of development talent. To get the best ROI from developers’ talent, best-in-class tools are a primary driver of developer velocity. A developer’s ability to access the right tools for each stage of the software life cycle contributes to developer satisfaction and ROI from the developer tools purchased.
Karate is an open-source unified test automation platform combining API testing, API performance testing, API mocks & UI testing.
Karate has been a top choice for developers, QA teams, and enterprise customers as we have delivered ROI by saving the time it takes to write tests for a single API (60% less code, 1 hour instead of 4), re-using API test-flows as performance tests, running parallel tests and unifying API & UI test automation.
415+ companies including 42 of the Fortune 500 are testimony to Karate making testing simple, fun and collaborative.
How did we achieve this? Karate was created keeping Developer Experience (DX) first and foremost. Karate makes test-scripts simpler, more readable, and maintainable by relying on an innovative combination of an interpreted DSL (Domain Specific Language), JSON support and JavaScript engine.
Remaining true to our mission of making test automation fun & collaborative, we continue to invest in enhancing DX. Plugins serve up ready-to-go solutions, saving a lot of developers a lot of time. In 1-year of releasing our official IntelliJ plugin we have crossed 19,000 downloads.
We are a for-profit open-source company at our core.
