InditexTech Karate Tools | InditexTech Karate Tools

Karate Tools is a toolkit for teams testing REST APIs with Karate. It scaffolds a new Karate module from a Maven archetype, generates test scenarios, data sets and mocks straight from an Open API definition, and ships ready-to-use clients for the databases and messaging systems your tests need to talk to.

One archetype, one command — a working Karate project, configured and ready to run.
Tests you don’t have to write — Open API in, Gherkin scenarios and mocks out.
Clients included — JDBC, MongoDB, Kafka and JMS, ready to use in tests.

OpenAPI definition transformed into generated scenarios and test assets

Point the generator at an Open API definition and get Gherkin scenarios, test data and service mocks back — no scenario written by hand.

Test execution across services and environments converging into a results report

Run against any environment, with a mock server for external services and HTML reports that show exactly what ran.

Frequently asked questions

Have more questions? Open an issue — we’ll respond as quickly as possible.

Is Karate Tools free and open source?

Yes. Karate Tools is distributed under the Apache 2.0 License: you can use, modify and distribute it, including in commercial applications.

Do I need an Open API definition to use Karate Tools?

No. The Open API generator is optional — the archetype gives you a working Karate project either way; the generator just saves you from writing scenarios, test data and mocks by hand when a definition exists. See Open API generator.

Do I need to write Java to use Karate Tools?

Mostly no — tests are plain Karate .feature files and YAML/JS configuration. Java is only involved if you extend the clients or generators themselves. See the quickstart.

Can I use Karate Tools outside InditexTech?

Yes — Karate Tools is public open-source software, usable by anyone under the Apache 2.0 License.
