Karate API Automation Reports

Overview

In this tutorial, we will understand API Automation Reports created using the API automation tool Karate. By default, the tool generates test reports in various formats for better understanding of the test results.

Automation Reports

The automation results are created under the target\karate-reports directory:.

<Project_Root>\target\karate-reports

Test Report Path

For Example:

On Windows operating system, If the project root is pointed to say -> C:\TestingDocs

and the project name is TestingDocsKarateDemo

The sample path to the reports would be:

C:\TestingDocs\TestingDocsKarateDemo\target\karate-reports

The main report file is the karate-summary.html . This has summary of the automation test run and links to the individual scenario automation results. We can click on the feature file links to drill down the automation results.

In this case the server actively refused to connection for the API request from the automation. This is the client side debug information. More can be debugged on the server side as well. Request Timestamp, User-Agent details, API Endpoint are the clues to debug the call on the server-side.
