When I read Peter Thomas' foreword in this book, I felt nostalgic. I started my journey with Karate back in 2017 and coached many peers in writing Karate tests. Karate is a minimalistic test automation framework often referred to as a Swiss knife due to its versatility and ease of learning. At that time, I wished we had a book like this to help onboard aspiring Karate learners. This much-awaited book is essential for anyone interested in learning about Karate. Don't be misled by the title, "Writing API Tests with Karate." The author, Benjamin Bischoff, is dedicated to providing comprehensive and descriptive test examples, including API and end-to-end UI testing in this book. Additionally, the book covers mock and performance testing with Karate. If you have an e-book copy, you can click on the hyperlinks and access the GitHub repository to embark on your Karate learning journey immediately.

I am an SDET who is currently using RESTAssured for API Testing. Whenever I create a framework and test using REST Assured, I have felt that there are few parts missing. I was looking for option to switch and then I found Karate framework. Karate is the only open-source tool to combine API test-automation, mocks, performance testing and even UI automation into a single, unified framework.This book on ‘writing API tests using karate framework’ serves its purpose. The simple language and clear explanation of the flow makes it very interesting. I am very much impressed by the author’s effort to make this framework very understandable and usable. I would recommend this book to anyone who is planning to learn API testing or to someone who is looking for better framework to test APIs.

I am fairly new on the whole topic of writing test automation for APIs and so I was happy to see someone wrote a book about Karate, explaining it to me. Personally, I feel this book is a great introduction on writing tests with the Karate framework. It's providing a good guidance on how to first prepare the environment and to set up the system, and very importantly - to gain a basic understanding on how Karate works.The structure of the book makes it possible and quite easy to follow it step by step and slowly learn how to write tests, how to run them and how to create reports. Even without prior knowledge on Karate and API testing frameworks, I am able to understand it and I'm feeling positive on soon experimenting with my own project using Karate.Also I was surprised to learn about the advanced Karate functionalities and the further ways on how Karate can be used, for instance the extra features such as UI browser testing. There is really a lot to discover and learn in this book and how to write and use test automation, so I consider it a very good choice for beginners like me. However, I can of course not fully judge on the complexity and completness of contents that is covered in this book, but I'm positive that there is something new to learn for everyone interested in the topic.
