What is API testing using Karate? Karate is a free, open-source test automation framework, originally built on Cucumber, that lets teams write API tests in a simple BDD style without separate step-definition code, and run functional, integration, contract, performance, and even UI tests from one tool. For QA and engineering teams, it is one of the fastest ways to validate that REST and SOAP APIs return the right data, status codes, and behavior before a release ships.
As release cycles shorten and applications depend on more interconnected APIs, this program helps your teams automate API testing with Karate and catch breaking changes before they reach production. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide. Built around your goals, the program turns Karate skills into lasting capabilities that lift quality across QA, automation, and DevOps teams.
Delivered instructor-led and fully customized to your APIs and tech stack, the training is available worldwide in person and virtually across popular languages, and covers Karate end to end, from writing your first test and parameterizing data to advanced JSON and XML matchers, mocking, performance checks, and CI/CD integration. Your organization gains faster, more reliable releases, less manual regression effort, and engineers who can build maintainable API test suites with confidence.

- Write clean, readable API tests in Karate using its BDD syntax, with no separate step-definition code to maintain.
- Validate REST and SOAP APIs by asserting status codes, response bodies, headers, and schemas with Karate matchers.
- Parameterize tests and drive them with JSON, XML, and external data for broad, reusable coverage.
- Handle complex and nested payloads, dynamic responses, and conditional logic in real-world API scenarios.
- Mock and stub services with Karate to test components in isolation and run basic performance checks.
- Integrate Karate suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Git) and generate reports for continuous API testing.

Participants should be comfortable with basic software testing concepts and understand how web APIs, HTTP methods, and JSON work. Familiarity with REST APIs and a little programming or scripting is helpful but not required, as the program includes guided setup and hands-on labs. Edstellar tailors the starting point to your team's experience, so both testers new to API automation and engineers extending existing Karate suites can take part productively.
