Objective: RESTFul API Test cases and Test automation using ** Karate**

1. This work helps to understand what is karate framework (open source tool) and how it help's to test restful webservices (QA perspective).
2. I have used ** imgur account and its webservices**
3. Test CRUD operations.
4. In this project work I have automated basic CRUD operations, and considered only positive cases.
5. This work is restful webservices testing.

Getting started:

1. Get new user account with imgur.com

2. Next, You need an fake or real application. Do not worry if you don't have one.

3. You can use https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback. consider this as your application.

4. Now, register the url with imgur. see this link imgur

5. Go to REGISTRATION QUICKSTART section of the above page.

6. Follow the steps as shown.

7. You will have new Client ID and Client Secret.

8. You can also see the Client ID and Client Secret in imgur website under user account settings section.

9. You need this two Client ID and Client Secret to use imgur webservices, meaning, you can do post, get, put or delete operations.

10. This how your imgur user account settings will look like. see below image:

  

11. Next, please follow Download code section (see below), and then open feature file oauth2.feature which is under src\test\java\demo\oath package.

12. Replace Client ID and Client Secret with your's.

13. Replace username and password with your's. Note, these two will be your imgur user credentials.

3. Test results or reports can be found in cucumber-html-reports folder which is under target directory.

Running test from Jenkins:

1. in progress...

Cucumber feature files flow:

I have separated api to respective feature files and I consider them as called feature files, in other words, the test feature files e2e feature will call api feature file. see below image;

1. During this design I have considered Calling feature and Called feature as fundamental principle, this helps my scenarios to be modular and easy to maintain.
