What it does

Karate is the only open-source tool to combine API test-automation, API mocks, API performance-testing and UI automation into a single, unified framework.

Unified API, UI, and AI test automation. Open-source Karate framework plus Karate Agent, the enterprise self-hosted, BYO-LLM AI-native test runtime. Trusted by 76 of the Fortune 500.

Generation got cheap. Knowing what’s safe to ship didn’t. Karate governs it, on the open-source engine trusted by 76 of the Fortune 500. Write 60% less test code , run it in any CI, and drive the browser with any LLM you host, DOM-first, MCP-native, self-hosted. Open core, 8.9k★ on GitHub. “We ship every week now, but I can’t tell which requirements we’ve actually proven.” “The dashboards are green, but defects still escape, and now AI writes the tests too.” “I sign the release. I can’t stake my name on evidence I can’t reproduce, or that lives on a vendor’s servers.” “Locator hell, flaky suites, and…from karatelabs.io

    Development teams often struggle with using multiple tools like Postman and Swagger for API design, development, and testing. This fragmented approach leads to outdated API specs and chaotic collaboration. So we built Apidog: a single, unified API platform for team collaboration. It has a beautiful interface that makes it easy to create API spec, generate request data from API spec, validate responses, create mock data, orchestrate test scenarios, and publish API documentation. Apidog = Postman + Swagger + Mock + JMeter.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
