I want to access and store the network logs from the browser for one of my UI test, can we achieve this with karate UI framework.

I have a scenario where I want to automate my functional tests from the UI for a web application. Had it been simple I would have used a karate/similar framework to get the work done. The main caveat is to surpass the biometric scan in order to complete the functional tests. I know appium supports such a case for the mobile-native/ hybrid applications. But i want to know what are all the other tools that i can use to automate the same for a plain web applications. Thanks in advance.
I am looking to automate testing for an REST API that has some websocket endpoints.
The API has a feel similar to an application that can add/list serially connected sensors (typical REST CRUD) and then allow for the direct connection to them (websocket). There is currently no frontend and I would like to perform E2E and integration tests with real and mocked hardware.
Minimally, the solution would:
run via an agent on a testbed I or it created
do the typical CRUD tests (add sensor, edit sensor, etc.)
open a websocket connection (IE: '/websock?sensorID=10') and then have the typical expect script test behavior (wait for,read,write, assert). An Echo websocket would be an ideal first test.
The ideal solution would have this and:
incorporate the typical browser focused testing in the future
grab data from additional servers to verify behavior (IE: after a REST PUT, query the SQL database directly to verify)
integrate into the typical JIRA DevOps flow
I have looked at Selenium and Cypress, but it is not clear if or how they can satisfy these requirements as the documentation is almost entirely browser focused.
I have started to use Karate to test our mobile app which is using GraphQL and it is working good so far, though a bit of a learning curve for me as I am not a programmer by trade, but I need to look further into the future and be sure to find a framework that will also support our need to automate tests for our custom web applications as well. I would think Selenium would be the way to go so I am looking for a testing framework where I can test not only the GraphQL queries which our micro services/APIs are written, but also our web applications and our mobile app. We are a MS shop but if need be, as with Karate, we can venture into a different stack. Thanks!
Disclaimer: dev of Karate here.
I don't know about mobile, but teams have been successful mixing Karate and Selenium / WebDriver into a single integrated script, which is possible because of Karate's Java inter-op.
This is a Stack Overflow answer recommending the above approach and this answer is an update from the same team reporting success.
One more reason you may want to consider Karate is that it may be the only framework that allows you to re-use functional test scripts as performance tests, via Gatling integration (still in development).
Karate in my opinion is a "safe" choice as a testing framework, because it is technically Gherkin and "language neutral". This may be a surprise for those new to Karate, but it actually leans towards using JavaScript for scripting instead of Java.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that I have yet to find a framework that makes testing GraphQL as easy as how Karate does.
Selenium and Rest assured integration framework is the answer to your question. I created a test automation framework to test an ionic application which is using GraphQL api along with Rest webservices. I have used Testng and cucumber in my framework to perform web app side validations and used Rest assured along with GSON to validate the GraphQL and rest services. You can easily integrate appium in your framework along with selenium and rest assured to cater the need of mobile testing.
Give some examples for test automation tools used for testing an ESB?
Can Selenium be used for testing or are there any specific tools?
I believe Citrus is the standard in ESB automation testing. While I am not as familiar with Selenium, since it is browser automation, at a minimum it can be used for REST based service testing, as this can be done thru a typical browser without additional support.
Google Chrome Postman with jetpack can do both REST and SOAP.
Can we use selenium webdriver to test API. For example if we fill sign up form than can we check that API is called properly and the parameter we pass at sign up page are transfer at the web services?
No, Selenium webdriver is not supposed to test APIs. Yes but there are workaround you can do it in indirect way. But I'd suggest to use the tool which is meant to test APIs. There are few open source Java based DSL which you can use along with selenium.
One of them is Rest Assured.
Personally I liked this tool and integrated it with my selenium project. I use selenium to perform all the front-end operations which are required to call APIs.
