15. Karate Framework || Interview Assessment Question.
The Karate framework is built on top of Cucumber and HttpClient, and it uses the Java programming language. The framework is designed to make it easy to write tests for web services, and it includes a number of features that make it well-suited for testing RESTful services. One of the key features of Karate is that it allows tests to be written in a concise and readable syntax.
There are no real limitations, but there are some practical considerations. For example, you wouldn’t want to try to serialize an entire database into JSON and send it to the server. That would be way too much data and would probably overwhelm the server. So, while there are no technical limitations, you do need to use some common sense when deciding what to serialize into JSON.
In Karate DSL, scenarios are written in a very specific format that includes a keyword for each step of the scenario. For example, a scenario might start with the keyword *Given* to set the stage, followed by the keyword *When* to describe the action that takes place, and then the keyword *Then* to describe the expected outcome.
Global variables in karate are variables that are available to all test scripts. These variables can be used to store data that needs to be accessed by multiple test scripts, or to store data that is used across multiple test runs. Global variables can be accessed by using the ‘karate.get’ and ‘karate.set’ methods.
Karate is a popular open-source test automation framework for web services and web applications. It is written in the Java programming language and can be used with any testing tool or framework. When interviewing for a position that will involve test automation, it is likely that the interviewer will ask you questions about your experience with Karate. In this article, we review some of the most common Karate questions and provide tips on how to answer them.

Best Web API Testing Interview Questions
Before going ahead, I would like to let you know that we have another post where we covered 30+ Postman Interview Questions separately.
How to send an HTTP Request (Get, Post, Put, Delete, Patch)
In the above example, AM_USERNAME, AM_PASSWORD, AM_HOST, and AM_AUTHENTICATE_PATH come from the karate-config.js file.
‘’ can be interpreted as any of Given, When, Then, And, but when an action doesn’t serve a context, we can use ‘’.
’+’ acts as a concatenate operator
The above example sends an empty post body request. We can just use ‘ ‘
The method can be any valid HTTP verb (Get, Post, Put, Patch, Delete)
‘def’ is used to store a value in a variable.
header, url, request, method, status, response are all karate’s keywords forming the DSL. For the full list of keywords, visit Intuit.
In the above example, the response is JSON format, so we can use karate’s builtin JsonPath notation to parse the response.
