Authors Karate `.feature` files using its Gherkin-flavored DSL for HTTP API tests, leverages the `match` keyword with fuzzy validators (#number / #string / #regex / contains / arrays), runs the suite via JUnit 5 plus Maven Surefire, and produces JUnit XML for CI gating. Use when the project is on the JVM and prefers a feature-file authoring flow over Java-DSL fluent chains; for those fluent chains use restassured-testing, for the same YAML-style flow on a Python/pytest stack use tavern-testing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# karate-testing ## Overview Karate authors HTTP API tests as Gherkin-flavored `.feature` files with `Given / When / Then` steps, but unlike Cucumber the steps are **executable directly** - no glue code is required ([karate-readme][readme], [karate-docs][docs]). [readme]: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate [docs]: https://docs.karatelabs.io/ This skill covers the API-testing slice of Karate. Its mock-server and UI-automation modes are out of scope here. ## When to use - The team wants feature-file-based authoring (Gherkin shape) without step-definition glue code (the Cucumber pain point). - Multi-language test teams: Karate's DSL is approachable for non- Java developers (the `.feature` file IS the test; no Java to read). - API + mock + perf in one tool - Karate's distinguishing feature is cross-mode reuse of feature files. - Teams that need built-in JSON path + schema-fuzzy matching with one keyword (`match`). If the team is already deep in REST Assured fluency, evaluate `restassured-testing`. For non-JVM stacks, use `postman-collections` or `tavern-testing`. ## Install Maven (consult [karate-docs][docs] for the current version - Karate …

How to install
mdr add testland/qa/karate-testing@sha256:a261e0e7cf2696c9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.1bce424, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
