[AKA] Katalon Studio - Feb 26 to Mar 12, 2024 ✨

Hi Team,

I’m trying to setup a mobile automation project using perfecto cloud.
I’m facing difficulties in the initial setup. Do you have any thread I can refer?

I used the plugins provided in Katalon Store but unable to achieve the result.
Can you please help with the steps for setting up a mobile project with perfecto?

Can the team walk through how each piece of the Katalon suite of products can be integrated with JIRA(no Xray), specifically the activities that can be synchronized between the two platforms? A high-level outline/diagram or flowchart?

We have Studio and TestOps attempting to bring TrueTest online as well.
CicleCI
Github

@xuan.tran Can we directly upload test cases/suit/folder from Katalon Studio to TestOps?

As of Feb 28, 2024, our Katalon Studio team has issued a fix for the Chrome WebDriver issue, you can visit the thread below to learn more:

The test results you can upload automatically - that setup is here: Set up overview in Katalon Studio | Katalon Docs

As for uploading the test cases for storage, the current method of syncing them would be through Git Integration in Studio and in TestOps.

Hey Nathaniel,

Here’s a video I recorded against Jira in the pas it also has GitLab integration but you can skip that part.

Note, some of the screens have changed but I believe it’s still applicable.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I’m investigating it - seeing if we can get this added on and tested within a quarter or two. (Or less)

Do you want it on the docker container too?

Which report do you want to customize? What information would you like to add? You can customize the email template a bit.

I expect that version from Katalon Team,
Yes I am testing it on AWS Device Farm.

Hi @trungnghia.ctn94,

I want to use KRE in my M1 mac. Is there any way to do that?

Yes, you can use KRE on Apple Silicon, KRE for macOS can run well on both Intel and Apple Silicon chips. I hope that this answer could help, if you need further support, please let me know.

Happy testing,
Xuan Tran

Hi @xuan.tran
Yes, it’s true it can run on Apple Silicon but is that because of Rossetta 2? In my case, I am using KRE for AWS Device Farm. The error occurred when I execute the test with an iOS 17+ devices. According to AWS’s YML, for iOS 17+, the base host used is Apple Silicon, but Rosseta is not supported here. I think so, You can check Error Log in my post.

Hi @yann.sautreuil,

Thank you for trusting Studio for your day-to-day work, I really appreciate your feedback on WebUI and WS features. We’re still working on enhancements and developing new features every releases.

For the object recognition, we’ve just released 9.3.1 yesterday, introducing Smart Locator, where it can be used in advanced cases that previous locators might not work well. We would love to hear if this new feature can help your testing work easier.

Some other docs I believe could help you:

If you have other issues or feature suggestions for video record, screenshot or debugging, please let me know. We would love to hear more from you so that we can improve Studio better.

are we planning to get a direct Katalon studio to testops test case integration?

Hello,

Thanks for these yet they are not answering my concern which is about desktop test automation. All these links clearly state that video record / screenshot etc… are available for webUI and/or mobile test automation, not desktop test automation, hence my comment / suggestion to improve desktop test automation in KSE to catchup with wonderful features available for WebUI. :blush:

Regards,

Thanks @wbalien for your suggestion.

Currently, reports are only generated when execution is completed, and there will be no reports if the execution is stopped in the middle. We value your suggestion, and we might consider it for future releases.

Hi @grylion54,

We do collect some information about your application use for the purpose of analyzing and improving the product better, eg what types of keywords you use, but not more than that, we cannot read your script. You can refer to this document: Privacy Policy for further details of our tracking.

In case you do not want to be tracked, you have the option to disable usage tracking, but pls note that it will require a KSE license. I hope this info can help you.

Hi @katamba,

In the case where your test projects are all in Studio and you need to do performance testing, we have the integration with OctoPerf with detailed documentation here: OctoPerf and Katalon: Performance Testing | Katalon Docs
I hope that this will help :two_hearts:

Hi @bmiryala,
I found this doc that might help: Test different browser locales in Chrome with Desired Capabilities in Katalon Studio | Katalon Docs

If this solution is not working, please let me know :blush:

Hi @Testinator-X ,
Currently, we use OpenAI models for StudioAssist. As such, we follow OpenAI data policies. These include:

  • A 30-day data retention on OpenAI
  • No data is used to train the OpenAIs model

For more information on OpenAI’s data policies, refer to: Enterprise privacy. On an account level, we can set the data retention to 0 days if desired.

We do have plans to support Azure OpenAI soon. Their policies on data are more stringent as the data will completely be controlled by Microsoft. Refer to Data, privacy, and security for Azure OpenAI Service - Azure AI services | Microsoft Learn for the data policy for Microsoft.

Other than the above-mentioned, our long-term plan is to support other LLMs (both propriety & open source models).

I hope that this addresses your concern.
