The video describes about Karate UI Testing .
Automate cross-browser web testing using Karate's built-in driver for end-to-end scenarios
without external Selenium dependencies.

Benefits of UI Testing in Karate

Unified framework: Combine API and UI testing in the same feature file
No external dependencies: Built-in Chrome DevTools Protocol support
Simple syntax: Familiar Gherkin-style commands for browser interactions
Cross-browser support: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Playwright

Karate prerequisites

Step 1: Check Java
Karate works on Java LTS. Use Java 21 (recommended) or Java 17.
java -version

Step 2: Install a Build Tool (Maven)
mvn -v

Quickstart Maven Archetype

The Karate Maven archetype creates a recommended project structure with a complete pom.xml
configuration, sample tests, and JUnit 5 runners, enabling you to start running Karate tests fast.

You can replace the values of com.mycompany and myproject as per your needs.

mvn archetype:generate `
"-DarchetypeGroupId=io.karatelabs" `
"-DarchetypeArtifactId=karate-archetype" `
"-DarchetypeVersion=1.5.1" `
"-DgroupId=com.mycompany" `
"-DartifactId=myproject"

This will create a folder called myproject and text file extension (following Cucumber standards)
and are organized alongside your Java test classes:
The archetype generates a complete project structure with everything you need. Karate test
scripts use the .feature file extension (following Cucumber standards) and are organized alongside
your Java test classes:

Key benefits of this structure:

Feature files live next to java files (not in separate folders)
Easy to find and manage related test files together
No switching between different source directories
Sample test included to get you started quickly

mvn archetype:generate `
"-DarchetypeGroupId=io.karatelabs" `
"-DarchetypeArtifactId=karate-archetype" `
"-DarchetypeVersion=1.5.1" `
"-DgroupId=KarateUITesting" `
"-DartifactId=KarateUITesting"
