Karate Framework is an open-source testing framework for API and microservice testing that provides an integrated DSL based on Gherkin. It combines API testing, mocking and data-driven tests in a single runtime and enables declarative, human-readable tests with seamless CI/CD integration. It supports HTTP, SOAP and GraphQL.

Karate is an open-source framework for testing APIs, web services, and UI flows with a Gherkin-like DSL.
Karate builds on behavior-driven development and emerged from the need to describe API tests readably without extensive Java test code. Peter Thomas developed the project; Karate Labs now maintains the Karate repository.
Feature files describe scenarios in short steps, send requests, and check responses. Variables, tables, and reusable background steps connect data with the test flow.
It groups related scenarios by behavior.
It describes one concrete flow with checks.
The declarative syntax keeps test steps readable.
Karate fits API contracts, integration checks, and selected browser flows. Test data, environments, waits, and the boundary of end-to-end tests need deliberate design.
