Hello everyone, My name is Kapil. I am one of the co-founders of Karate Labs. Karate is the only open-source tool to combine API test-automation, mocks, performance-testing and even UI automation into a single, unified framework. The syntax is language-neutral, and easy for developers and even non-programmers. Assertions and HTML reports are built-in, and you can run tests in parallel for speed. There’s also a cross-platform stand-alone executable for teams not comfortable with Java. You don’t have to compile code. Just write tests in a simple, readable syntax - carefully designed for HTTP, JSON, GraphQL and XML. And you can mix API and UI test-automation within the same test script. A Java API also exists for those who prefer to programmatically integrate Karate’s rich automation and data-assertion capabilities. We launched the Karate IntelliJ plugin and Visual Studio code extension removing the pain of complicated installations, configuration and ongoing maintenance while addressing any security concerns as Karate is “LOCAL-FIRST” meaning when using Karate, user data will never leave customer firewall. This amongst others has been a primary driver for companies to migrate from SaaS providers to Karate. So much so, all of Karate open source is free within the plugins with the option of premium upgrade for features like debugging of tests, importing Postman collections, OpenAPI specs and generating Karate tests etc. >1.5 million monthly downloads, use by 415+ companies including 42 of the Fortune 500, are a testimony of Karate removing friction from the developer experience (DX). Peter Thomas (@ptrthomas) and I incorporated Karate Labs in 2021 with the primary focus of remaining true to the origin of Karate i.e. Making test automation SIMPLE, write tests FASTER, write BETTER tests. Please check us out and share your thoughts, ideas and feedback. Thank you for your time. Regards, Kapil
