Outline

In a world of HTTP-based services, testing HTTP APIs efficiently becomes more and more important. Karate provides a simple and expressive scripting language that allows for writing such tests in a natural and very readable way.

In this talk we'll use Karate to test Sling-based HTTP APIs, demonstrating how expressive and readable Karate tests can be, with the goal of using them as reference documentation for our HTTP APIs. Our examples will be available in the Sling Whiteboard for you to play with.

We'll also demonstrate Karate extensions such as performance testing, mocking services and access to Java classes for unlimited extensibility.
