Currently, when a test case playback ends, e.g. by failing, the corresponding WebDriver processes are kept alive.

These processes, however, keep file locks on Katalon project files and cannot be killed easily.

Please add an option to have a test case’s associated WebDriver process automatically getting killed when the test case stops/ends/aborts.
