Karate VS webtau

This is why we need better tools which will give benefits for the added complexity. If you need to create both the feature files AND the code, it's just complexity with little benefits. But frameworks like https://github.com/karatelabs/karate or https://github.com/Endava/cats are hiding this complexity and remove the code layer entirely. Which, in my view, this is where you need to be in 2023, particularly for API testing.

Congrats on the launch ! I'm the lead dev of [Karate](https://github.com/karatelabs/karate) and was wondering if you had come across it. I strongly agree that collaboration should be [via Git](https://www.karatelabs.io/first-class-citizens) and the IDE and traditional solutions fall short. I hope Karate's syntax passes your "memory friendly" test :) We get regular feedback is that it is easy to read and even non-programmers can pick it up. One thing I feel we do really well is chaining of HTTP requests. And we have plugins for [IntelliJ](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/19232-karate) and [VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=karatela...).

Maintaining a tool like this as open-source is hard, all the best !

FWIW https://github.com/karatelabs/karate is 83% Java.

We use karate to test our fully integrated graphql backend. Has Gherkin language support.

Take a look at Karate.

To run the test, we will use WebTau command line tool. One way to install it is to use brew. Other options available in documentation Installation section.

Just in case, here is the tool I developed, open sourced and use daily at work: https://github.com/testingisdocumenting/webtau

For scenarios like yours I also tend to do black box testing. I maintain testing framework called webtau (https://github.com/testingisdocumenting/webtau) and I use it to test a variety of apps. Webtau uses Java or Groovy language to write tests. I use it to test apps written in python/go/java/typescript/etc. The beauty of black box testing is you don't care what tech was used to write the software.

The right url for this open source tool is https://github.com/testingisdocumenting/webtau

I often use REPL mode in webtau tool (web test automation: https://github.com/testingisdocumenting/webtau). With the REPL mode I don't have to restart test suite from scratch and can trigger one call or one test at a time preserving the context.

Have you seen webtau (https://github.com/testingisdocumenting/webtau)?
