Speeding up test execution in Katalon Studio

Hello! I am using Katalon studio to run a test that registers an account in my system, creates a profile and then fills out a 400 question survey. If i were to do this manually it would probably take around 15 minutes, and my running the katalon script and do it in about 7. Is there a way to speed up this process? I do not need to see the browser pop up and watch it manually scroll through the buttons, so i would be fine if it was just testing it in the back end and not showing me, or is the …

I have tested execution speed in Katalon ver. 6.3.3 and 8.6.0 in the same environment and find that the latest version is a lot slower, in my situation by over 40%.

[Tip] How to Speed up Katalon Studio on Windows 10

For a while I have noticed that the load time for Katalon on Windows 10 was substantially longer than the load time for Windows 7. I knew also that Win10’s protection system is much more aggressive and pervasive than Win7. So, today, I decided to fix the problem. First, what do I mean by “load time”? The time it takes to start Katalon.exe, open a project (in my case, a quite large project) and wait for Katalon to finish preparing the IDE so it’s ready to be used. <<< Load Time. The exclusi…

Try allocating more RAM to KATALON and see how it goes.

To do so, please navigate to the “Applications” folder on your PC and right click on Katalon Studio, then “Show Package Contents”. Within the “Contents” > “Eclipse” folder, open the file called “katalon.ini” in your preferred text editor. Finally, change the line “-Xmx2048m” to “-Xmx4096m”. This will increase the RAM allocation for Katalon Studio.

I think in KS v9.0 it’s “-Xms256m” … you can double that to “-Xms512m”

I think in KS v9.0 it’s “-Xms256m” … you can double that to “-Xms512m”

Xms (starting heapsize) can be usually safely set as half of Xmx (max heapsize)
In certain scenario, setting xms equal to xmx may help even more (will make garbage collector more lazy but may increase the overall performance if the total execution takes not too long and /or does not accumulate plenty garbage, when the collector will actually help)
Heapsize settings in java is more like an art than an exact science.

You should request your IT helpdesk to support in this case

Does your test suite contains any test data?
How many test cases are there?
How long does it take to launch your test suite?

[asma.jelassi]

Hello,
I have test data in default and in excel file,
There is not a lot
Before the update it take > 5 min to run, now it’s over 25 min

[duyluong]

@asma.jelassi

Can you share the test suite file with me?
Which is your data source type? Excel, DB or CSV?
Does it take 25 minutes to launch or 25 minutes to complete the test?

@duyluong it’s not me having the issue… @asma.jelassi he probably meant this for you
