Automation Framework Knowledge Base

Problem Statement

Design & Implement Robust Automation Framework
Build a modular Framework so any future changes don’t have an impact on the entire framework but limited to a specific area

Global Properties:

Configuration The only rule is that on start-up Karate expects a file called karate-config.js to exist on the classpath and contain a JavaScript function. The function is expected to return a JSON object and all keys and values in that JSON object will be made available as script variables. And that's all there is to Karate configuration! You can easily get the value of the current 'environment' or 'profile', and then set up 'global' variables using some simple JavaScript.
Global Variables: Non-JSON values such as Java object references or JS functions are supported only if they are at the "root" of the JSON returned from karate-config.js.
Multiple Environment: Karate is flexible, you can easily overwrite config variables within each individual test-script - which is very convenient when in dev-mode or rapid-prototyping and also environment specific Config will be taken care of here. external config file having host name, credentials, stateCode, cityCode, etc.
Test Properties: Contains all properties related to Tests cases like Feature file, Http requests, responses, test data etc.
Framework Properties: Contains All properties related to Karate framework like pom.xml, YAML files, .md files etc.
Reports: We can generate default BDD cucumber reports and we can integrate reporting plugins.
Tests: Contains test scenarios feature files with execution tags, Assertions etc.
MDMS call: Fetching the test data from MDMS and using in tests.
