Karate DSL is recently became the 'Go to solution' for any test automation needs, especially when it comes to API testing.

120+ API services automated with Karate for my first project in a short time and after that, Karate became essential tool in my further assignments up until now.

Multi thread parallel execution, easy and reusable tests, soft and strong assertions, reports with detailed logs based on verbose config, support and onboarding efficiency - all these comes with Karate and what else we need?

High possiblity to contribute by both devs and qa together on same repo, definate increase of productivity, Go for it, You won't regret it, trust me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you're not familiar with programming, you might hit a bit of a learning curve. Yeah, the syntax and structure can be a tad daunting for newbies or those shifting from non-technical backgrounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Karate is incredibly simple to learn and use. It's well documented, and its creator, Peter Thomas, is readily accessible via Stackoverflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Karate DSL does not currently support writing Gatling performance tests in Java -- Scala is still required. Adding a Java option would be a significant enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The strong focus on assertions makes large responses easy to validate. The human-readable BDD syntax allows testers new to automation to start contributing without having to know programming. The interop for Javascript syntax makes it easy to code very powerful functions into a single line, directly in the test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any framework that is not pure code, the Karate DSL can feel restrictive at times. Although I believe if you leverage Karate's Java API you can get closer to pure code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
