Currently it seems that Katalon supports only XML test suite.
I’m wondering if Katalon can provide a great enhancement using MS Excel managing test suite for some reasons I think
- End user can customize test suite easily rather than open XML to customize or open KATALON tool to customize test suite.
- In MS Excel file, there is a Summary sheet that list out all test suites (A,B,C,D) with Yes/No, if I select Yes for A,B only and run it, only test suite A and B are run.
+ in sheet test suite A, we can have 100 test cases, I only check Yes on 10 cases for smoke test purpose => If I run, only 10 test cases of test suite A are run.
With this kind of test suite management using Excel, user can customize what they want to run quickly/easily as well as they are able to run a few customized test suites.

Hi Vinh,
Thanks so much for your feedback! We really appreciate that you took the time to share your team’s experiences and ideas regarding Katalon Studio. I have logged this suggestion to further discuss with the team.
If you have any further input or feature requests, please let us know.
@Liam B: We are facing a similar challenge with our team. Is there a way to do this?
This is what we need:
> We have a set of 100 Test Cases
> Data Source will be an Excel Sheet
> Excel will have a Single Tab which contains all 100 Test Cases with first 2 columns as ‘Yes/ No’ and ‘TestCaseName’
> A Driver Script will Find the combination of TestCaseName + ‘Yes’ Flag
Advantage:
> User only manipulates Excel Sheet Column instead of modifying the Test Suite
Challenge:
> The Report will still log all the iterations for each test case, making the count as 100*100 (if all Test Cases are marked as ‘Yes’)
Need Help:
> Is there a way to restrict which entries go into the report and which are skipped? (e.g., Unless ‘Login’ Action is invoked, I do not want to write that entry into the Test Report)
