Hi @Rit, 
While we appreciate your enthusiasm to join our challenge, we’ll have to disqualify your entry as it did not provide any detailed nor helpful use cases that other members could refer to, and the use of AI-generated videos is just lazy.
Thanks,

Problem 3: Running Custom Actions Before or After Each Test Case Execution
In some testing scenarios, you may need to execute custom actions such as logging, capturing screenshots, or performing cleanup tasks before or after each test case or test suite execution. Manually adding these steps in every test case can be time-consuming and redundant, especially when you have a large test suite.
Solution: Automating Custom Actions with Test Listeners in Katalon Studio
Katalon Studio offers Test Listeners, which allow you to define custom actions that run automatically before or after a test case or test suite is executed. This helps automate repetitive tasks, centralize code for common actions, and improve the maintainability of your test automation project.

Problem 2: Automating Regression Testing
Your team frequently releases updates to your application, and you need to ensure that new features don’t break existing functionality. Running regression tests manually for every release is time-consuming and delays deployment.
Solution: Katalon’s Automated Regression Testing
Katalon Studio enables you to create reusable automated test cases and organize them into test suites for efficient regression testing. This ensures faster testing cycles and consistent coverage.
**How-To: **
Problem 1: Accumulation of Unused Test Objects and Repository Clutter
As automation projects grow, the number of test objects in the repository can increase significantly. Over time, some of these test objects become unused because they are no longer referenced in your test cases. If not managed properly, unused test objects can lead to clutter in the Object Repository, making it harder to find the elements you need, potentially causing duplication, and even affecting test performance.
Manually identifying and deleting unused test objects can be a tedious task, especially in larger projects where you have hundreds or thousands of test objects.
Solution: Using Katalon Studio’s “Show Unused Test Objects” Feature
Katalon Studio has a built-in feature that allows you to identify and list unused test objects within your project. By regularly cleaning up the repository and deleting these unused test objects, you can reduce duplication, improve repository organization, and streamline the maintenance of your project.
How-To:
Problem: As your test automation project grows, it becomes challenging to manage a large number of test objects (UI elements like buttons, text fields, links) in a consistent and organized manner. Without a clear naming convention and folder structure, it’s easy to run into issues like duplicated elements, inconsistent naming, and difficulty finding objects when needed. These problems make maintaining the test repository cumbersome, leading to confusion and potential errors in the automation process.
Solution: Katalon Studio offers powerful features to streamline the management of test objects, including automatic naming conventions, folder structure management, and protection against duplicate elements. These features ensure that your Object Repository remains organized, easy to navigate, and maintainable throughout the project’s lifecycle.
HowTo: Launch Katalon Studio and record any scenario (such as login, logout, or shopping). Once the recording is complete, save the test objects. Check to ensure that Katalon has automatically assigned appropriate names to the objects and organized them into corresponding folders. Managing a large number of test objects can become cumbersome, but Katalon simplifies this process, making it easy to handle even with a large set of objects.
Problem: Managing Test Cases in a Collaborative Environment
When working on automated tests with a team, it can be challenging to manage changes to test cases and avoid conflicts, especially if multiple people are editing the same files. Without version control, changes can easily be lost, overwritten, or lead to conflicting versions of test cases, making collaboration harder.
Solution: Using Katalon Studio’s Inbuilt Git Integration
Katalon Studio offers inbuilt Git integration that simplifies version control for users, even those who are new to Git (Just someone like me 
). With Git integration, you can easily manage your test scripts, track changes, collaborate with your team, and avoid conflicts. Katalon Studio provides a user-friendly interface to handle Git features like clone, commit, push, pull, branch management, and view history, all without needing to use command-line Git commands.
How-To: Link Your Katalon Project to Git, Commit Changes Locally using commit option from git dropdown, Push Changes to Remote Repository, you can also manage your Branches seamlessly. Additionality we can manage Git History with Show History Option from git dropdown.
Problem: Test Flakiness and Unreliable Test Results
While running automated tests, sometimes individual test cases fail intermittently due to factors such as network latency, application timing issues, or external system dependencies. These failures make it difficult to assess the actual reliability of your application and can lead to false negatives. Re-running tests manually or trying to troubleshoot failures takes time and adds unnecessary effort.
Solution: Using Katalon Studio’s Inbuilt Retry Function
Katalon Studio offers an inbuilt retry feature that automatically re-runs failed test cases within a test suite. This feature allows you to reduce the noise caused by intermittent test failures and helps to ensure that your tests are more reliable, saving you time and effort in test execution.
How-To: Enable Retry in Test Suite Settings, Run the Test Suite and Analyze the results.
Problem: Cross-Browser Testing
You’re working on a web application that needs to function seamlessly across multiple browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Testing manually on each browser is time-consuming and prone to errors, and it delays your release cycles.
Solution: Katalon’s Cross-Browser Testing Feature
With Katalon Studio, you can automate your tests and execute them across different browsers effortlessly. This saves time, ensures thorough coverage, and helps you identify browser-specific issues early in the development cycle.
How-To: Create a Test Case and populate steps in it using manual or script mode. Create test suites and add those test suites into test suites collection. Once done, modify the browsers for each test suite. Verify that different browsers are getting opened for each specified test suites.
Problem: Validating Responsive Design Across Devices
Your web application needs to provide a seamless user experience on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. Testing responsiveness manually across different screen sizes and resolutions is inefficient and inconsistent.
Solution: Katalon’s Responsive Testing with Browser Resizing and Mobile Emulation
Katalon Studio enables you to automate testing of responsive designs by adjusting browser window sizes and emulating mobile devices to ensure consistent functionality and layout.
How-To: Create a Test Case for Key Interactions and Add Browser Resizing Commands (WebUI.setViewPortSize()). Test with Mobile Emulation (WebUI.setViewPortSize(375, 667)) and then Validate Layout and Functionality.
Problem: Stale or Hanging WebDriver Sessions After Test Execution
During test automation, especially when running multiple tests or test suites in parallel, you may encounter situations where WebDriver sessions are left hanging after a test completes. These sessions consume system resources, slow down subsequent tests, or even cause errors if the WebDriver instance is not properly terminated.
If WebDriver sessions aren’t closed properly, they may lead to errors like failing to launch browsers, increased memory consumption, or conflicts in later test runs. Manual intervention may be needed to clean up these processes, which can be time-consuming and cumbersome.
Solution: Use the “Terminate Running WebDrivers” Option in Katalon Studio
Katalon Studio offers a built-in tool to terminate running WebDriver sessions, ensuring that all active WebDriver processes are stopped and resources are released. This helps prevent resource conflicts and errors, especially when running multiple tests, and ensures a clean testing environment for each test execution.
How-To: Navigate to the Katalon Studio Menu, click on tools followed by Web and then click on Terminate Running WebDrivers. All your webdrivers running in the background will be terminated successfully.

Hi everyone,
We’ve been informed that some members did submit their videos before the deadline, however, as their Trust Levels were still quite low, it took our system some time to approve their submissions, resulting to their videos being submitted later than our initial deadline.
We’ve since decided to also have their submission being qualified for the prizes.
Thanks,
Albert
