+# karmaExecuteTests
+
+## Description
+
+In this step the ([Karma test runner](http://karma-runner.github.io)) is executed.
+
+The step is using the `seleniumExecuteTest` step to spins up two containers in a Docker network:
+
+- a Selenium/Chrome container (`selenium/standalone-chrome`)
+- a NodeJS container (`node:8-stretch`)
+
+In the Docker network, the containers can be referenced by the values provided in `dockerName` and `sidecarName`, the default values are `karma` and `selenium`. These values must be used in the `hostname` properties of the test configuration ([Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io/1.0/config/configuration-file.html) and [WebDriver](https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-webdriver-launcher#usage)).
+
+!!! note
+    In a Kubernetes environment, the containers both need to be referenced with `localhost`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **running Karma tests** - have a NPM module with running tests executed with Karma
+- **configured WebDriver** - have the [`karma-webdriver-launcher`](https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-webdriver-launcher) package installed and a custom, WebDriver-based browser configured in Karma
+
+## Parameters
+
+| parameter | mandatory | default | possible values |
+| ----------|-----------|---------|-----------------|
+|script|yes|||
+|containerPortMappings|no|`[node:8-stretch: [[containerPort: 9876, hostPort: 9876]]]`||
+|dockerEnvVars|no|||
+|dockerImage|no|`node:8-stretch`||
+|dockerName|no|`karma`||
+|dockerWorkspace|no|`/home/node`||
+|failOnError|no|||
+|installCommand|no|`npm install --quiet`||
+|modules|no|`['.']`||
+|runCommand|no|`npm run karma`||
+|sidecarEnvVars|no|||
+|sidecarImage|no|||
+|sidecarName|no|||
+|sidecarVolumeBind|no|||
+|stashContent|no|||
+
+- `script` - defines the global script environment of the Jenkinsfile run. Typically `this` is passed to this parameter. This allows the function to access the [`commonPipelineEnvironment`](commonPipelineEnvironment.md) for storing the measured duration.
+- `containerPortMappings` - see step [dockerExecute](dockerExecute.md)
+- `dockerEnvVars` - see step [dockerExecute](dockerExecute.md)
+- `dockerImage` - see step [dockerExecute](dockerExecute.md)
+- `dockerName` - see step [dockerExecute](dockerExecute.md)
+- `dockerWorkspace` - see step [dockerExecute](dockerExecute.md)
+- `failOnError` - see step [seleniumExecuteTests](seleniumExecuteTests.md)
+- `installCommand` - the command that is executed to install dependencies
+- `modules` - define the paths of the modules to execute tests on
+- `runCommand` - the command that is executed to start the tests
+- `sidecarEnvVars` - see step [dockerExecute](dockerExecute.md)
+- `sidecarImage` - see step [dockerExecute](dockerExecute.md)
+- `sidecarName` - see step [dockerExecute](dockerExecute.md)
+- `sidecarVolumeBind` - see step [dockerExecute](dockerExecute.md)
+- `stashContent` - pass specific stashed that should be considered for the tests
+
+## Step configuration
+
+We recommend to define values of step parameters via [config.yml file](../configuration.md).
+
+In following sections the configuration is possible:
+
+| parameter | general | step | stage |
+| ----------|---------|------|-------|
+|script||||
+|containerPortMappings|X|X|X|
+|dockerEnvVars|X|X|X|
+|dockerImage|X|X|X|
+|dockerName|X|X|X|
+|dockerWorkspace|X|X|X|
+|failOnError|X|X|X|
+|installCommand|X|X|X|
+|modules|X|X|X|
+|runCommand|X|X|X|
+|sidecarEnvVars|X|X|X|
+|sidecarImage|X|X|X|
+|sidecarName|X|X|X|
+|sidecarVolumeBind|X|X|X|
+|stashContent|X|X|X|
+
+## Return value
+
+none
+
+## Side effects
+
+Step uses `seleniumExecuteTest` & `dockerExecute` inside.
+
+## Exceptions
+
+none
+
+## Example
+
+```groovy
+karmaExecuteTests script: this, modules: ['./shoppinglist', './catalog']
+```
