Karate-based integration tests

This small application demonstrates the approach to test Spring Boot-based REST API using a test automation engine named Karate.

What is Karate

Karate is test automation engine that allows to write BDD-tests, integration tests and other types of tests. It allows testing end-to-end scenarios especially REST and SOAP APIs.

How this application works

This application starts as a simple API microservice on localhost:8080. It exposes one endpoint by address GET /bankproducts/{id}. It returns 404 by any ID except 1. For ID 1 it will return you a simple object:

{"id":1,"title":"My product"}

Steps to run the tests

• First start the application itself, the microservice should be up and running
• Next run the tests from the application. There are many ways to run them but the easiest one is to launch them from IntelliJ IDEA if you have it (launch your microservice first and then launch the task Gradle > verification > test).
