Introduction

Tool Summary

Chakram is an API testing framework designed to perform end to end tests on JSON REST endpoints.

The library offers a BDD testing style and fully exploits javascript promises - the resulting tests are simple, clear and expressive. Chakram is built on node.js, mocha and chai.

This readme offers an introduction to the library. For more information, visit Chakram's documentation and tests which demonstrate all of Chakram's capabilities. In addition, example tests of publicly accessible APIs are available in the examples directory. If required, assistance can be found in the project's gitter chat room.

Features

Key Features

HTTP specific assertions. Allows testing of:
- Status codes
- Cookie presence and value
- Header presence and value
- JSON values
- JSON structure (using the JSON schema specification)
- Compression
- Response times
BDD formatting and hooks (e.g. beforeEach, afterEach)
Promise based
Plugin support
Custom assertions
Exports results in a variety of formats

More Features:

Chakram allows you to write clear and comprehensive tests, ensuring JSON REST endpoints work correctly as you develop and in the future
Chakram extends Chai.js, adding HTTP specific assertions.
It allows simple verification of returned status codes, the compression used, cookies, headers, returned JSON objects and the schema of the JSON response (using the JSON schema specification)
API testing is naturally asynchronous, which can make tests complex and unwieldy. Chakram fully exploits javascript promises, resulting in clear asynchronous tests.
Using BDD formatting and hooks, complex tests can be constructed with the necessary setup and tear down operations, all described in natural language for improved clarity and maintenance.
Allows new assertions to be added to the framework. This is ideal for adding edge case HTTP assertions or project specific assertions.

Getting Started

Known Tool Version:

version to 1.5.0

Getting Started:

Chakram requires Node.js and npm to be installed. It is available as an npm module. Ideally, Chakram should be added to your testing project's devDependencies. This can be achieved with the following command:

npm install chakram --save-dev

The Mocha test runner is used to run Chakram tests – this can be installed globally or as a development dependency. The following command installs Mocha globally:

npm install -g mocha

To run tests, simply call the Mocha command line tool. By default, this will run the tests located in the 'test' directory. Mocha can export the test results in many different formats, satisfying the majority of continuous integration platforms.
