Karate is the only open-source tool to combine API test-automation, mocks, performance-testing and even UI automation into a single, unified framework. The BDD syntax popularized by Cucumber is language-neutral, and easy for even non-programmers. Assertions and HTML reports are built-in, and you can run tests in parallel for speed.
 
Its features include: 
<ul>
<li>Scripts are plain-text, require no compilation step or IDE, and teams can collaborate using Git / standard SCM</li>
<li>Elegant&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language">DSL</a>&nbsp;syntax &lsquo;natively&rsquo; supports JSON and XML - including&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#set">JsonPath</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#xpath-functions">XPath</a>&nbsp;expressions</li>
<li>Tests are super-readable - as scenario data can be expressed in-line, in human-friendly&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#json">JSON</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#xml">XML</a>, Cucumber&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#the-cucumber-way">Scenario</a>&nbsp;Outline&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#table">tables</a>, or a&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#set-multiple">payload builder</a>&nbsp;approach&nbsp;<a href="https://gist.github.com/ptrthomas/d6beb17e92a43220d254af942e3ed3d9">unique to Karate</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/intuit/karate/wiki/IDE-Support#vs-code-karate-plugin">Fully featured debugger</a>&nbsp;that can step&nbsp;backwards&nbsp;and even&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/KarateDSL/status/1167533484560142336">re-play a step while editing it</a>&nbsp;- a&nbsp;huge&nbsp;time-saver</li>
<li>Ideal for testing the highly dynamic responses from&nbsp;<a href="http://graphql.org/">GraphQL</a>&nbsp;API-s because of Karate&rsquo;s built-in&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#text">text-manipulation</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/json-path/JsonPath#path-examples">JsonPath</a>&nbsp;capabilities</li>
<li>Re-use of payload-data and user-defined functions across tests is&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#reading-files">so easy</a>&nbsp;- that it becomes a natural habit for the test-developer</li>
<li>Support for&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#data-driven-tests">data-driven tests</a>&nbsp;and being able to&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#tags">tag or group</a>&nbsp;tests is built-in, no need to rely on an external framework</li>
<li>Multi-threaded&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/#parallel-execution">parallel execution</a>, which is a huge time-saver, especially for integration and end-to-end tests</li>
<li>Option to use as a light-weight&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/master/karate-netty#standalone-jar">stand-alone executable</a>&nbsp;- convenient for teams not comfortable with Java</li>
<li>Cross platform&nbsp;<a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/karate-robot">Desktop Automation</a>&nbsp;that can be&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/ptrthomas/status/1215534821234995200">mixed into Web Automation flows</a>&nbsp;if needed</li>
<li>Gatling integration can hook into&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/master/karate-gatling#custom">any&nbsp;custom Java code</a>&nbsp;- which means that you can perf-test even non-HTTP protocols such as&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/thinkerou/karate-grpc">gRPC</a></li>
<li><a href="https://karatelabs.github.io/karate/karate-mock-servlet">Mock HTTP Servlet</a>&nbsp;that enables you to test&nbsp;any&nbsp;controller servlet such as Spring Boot / MVC or Jersey / JAX-RS - without having to boot an app-server, and you can use your HTTP integration tests un-changed</li>
<li>&nbsp;</li>

karate - Test Automation Made Simple

Jenkins is an award-winning application that monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron. It focuses on two things, Building/testing software projects continuously and Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs. Jenkins can distribute build/test loads to multiple computers. Builds can be tagged long after builds are completed. JUnit test reports can be tabulated, summarized, and displayed with history information, such as when it started breaking, etc. History trend is plotted into a graph.
