Karate BDD Framework Integration

​

1. Dual-Engine Test Architecture

• Quixa Visual Flow Engine: Renders interactive, visual DAG nodes on the canvas.
• Karate BDD Engine: Generates clean, human-readable Gherkin feature files (.feature).

​

2. Gherkin Feature Generation

Feature: User Account Lifecycle API

  Background:
    * url baseUrl
    * def authHeader = call read('classpath:auth-token.js')

  Scenario: Create new verified account successfully
    Given path '/api/v1/users'
    And headers { Authorization: '#(authHeader)', Content-Type: 'application/json' }
    And request { name: 'Alice Smith', email: 'alice@example.com', role: 'Developer' }
    When method post
    Then status 201
    And match response.id == '#uuid'
    And match response.email == 'alice@example.com'
    And match response.createdAt == '#present'

3. Visual BDD Console & Real-Time Execution

• Inline Monaco Feature Editor: Edit assertions, adjust payload fixtures, and add custom JavaScript helper functions directly in the UI.
• Live ANSI Terminal Logs: Run Karate tests with a single click. Quixa executes the test runner in an isolated container and streams colored ANSI terminal output in real time.
• Failure Traces & Match Diffs: Inspect JSON schema mismatches and assertion failures with side-by-side diff views.
