About this webinar:
Karate is a relatively new open-source framework for testing web-services. Just one year old, Karate's adoption by the community has been remarkable, as evident from the rising tide of Stack Overflow questions and the 570+ stars the project currently has on GitHub. Karate was featured as one of the top 5 open-source API testing tools in an article on TechBeacon, within just six months of its release. It now regularly turns up in blog-posts, social-media mentions, and believe it or not – even job-listings as a desired skill.

Karate has clearly filled a gap in the industry for a simple yet powerful tool that makes simple – the business of dealing with complex HTTP payloads. The unique mix of a Domain Specific Language (DSL), embedded JavaScript engine and native support for JsonPath and XPath has given Karate an edge over the alternatives that exist. Karate happens to be a great fit for testing GraphQL and is an integral part of the testing framework that Intuit uses for services that back QuickBooks for example.

A new capability in Karate is to be able to start an HTTP server and script responses to an incoming HTTP request. With Karate, you can now adopt what is termed as “Consumer Driven Contracts” and have your primary CI/CD pipeline use “test doubles” and be lightning-fast – while at the same time cover for the risk that the “fake” maybe not an accurate representation of the real thing.

Peter is a Distinguished Engineer at Intuit, who has extensive experience in building and scaling customer-backed solutions and building and mentoring technology teams. An avid open-source enthusiast, Peter's first open-source project 'CB2XML' was created on SourceForge way back in 2004 and incredibly still sees active releases by the current maintainers. He likes to claim that "JTrac", another one of his open-source creations, "took market-share away from JIRA" when it was popular, and when it was localized by volunteers into 20 languages.
