Can Katalon use browserstack config with multiple browsers capabilities at once?

Just an idea.

  1. Katalon Studio supports Console mode Execution. In the command line you can specify browser type:
$ cd %KATALON_HOME%
$ katalon -runMode=console -projectPath=... -testSuitePath=... -browserType="Remote"
  1. The information you put by GUI operation “Projects->settings->execution->Default->webUI->Remote” is actually saved in a JSON file : %project_dir%\settings\internal\com.kms.katalon.core.webui.remote.properties. For example:
{
  "REMOTE_WEB_DRIVER":{
    "os":"Windows",
    "os_version":"10",
    "browser":"IE",
    "browser_version":"11.0",
    "resolution":"1024x768",
    "remoteWebDriverUrl":"http://kazurayam1:*******************@hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub",
    "remoteWebDriverType":"Selenium"
  }
}
  1. I will manually write another JSON file which contains multiple entries of “Remote” I would like to use. For examle:
{ "REMOTE_WEB_DRIVERS": [
    {"os":"Windows","os_version":"10","browser":"IE","browser_version":"11.0", ...},
    {"os":"Windows","os_version":"8","browser":"IE","browser_version":"10.0", ...},
    {"os":"Windows","os_version":"7","browser":"Chrome","browser_version":"62.0", ...},
    {"os":"Mac","os_version":"11","browser":"Safari","browser_version":"xxx", ...},
    ... as many as I want

  1. Finaly I want to have a new nice UI. Using it I can select a set of entries of REMOTE_WEB_DRIVERS to apply to Katalon Studio Console Mode.
    The UI will loop for the entries dynamically overwriting the %project_dir%\settings\internal\com.kms.katalon.core.webui.remote.properties file and call the kataon.
    … I am not too sure if it is safe to overwrite the file. May work but not safe I think.

By this trick I would be able to execute multiple executions of a single set of Test Suite/Test Cases of a Katalon project specifying varieties of Browser environments provided by the BrowserStack.

I would try to implement this later.
