Automated API testing is crucial to getting reliable, high-performance, and functionality APIs in modern software development. These tests play a role by automating the tests and allowing teams to detect issues quickly. Additionally, it helps to reduce your manual effort and integrate the tests seamlessly into CI/CD workflows. Tools like Karate, REST-Assured, and Postman are popular choices for automating API tests. Karate stands out with its intuitive DSL, enabling quick test creation for API, performance, and mock testing, all while supporting integration into CI/CD pipelines.
