I am looking to write test cases in Katalon for Advanced Distribution management systems. Does anyone from the community have any experience with it? I have attached a screenshot of a sample test case.

Hi there,
Thank you very much for your topic. Please note that it may take a little while before a member of our community or from Katalon team responds to you.
Thanks!
Hi,
All tests can be automated. Could you provide more details on what you mean by “Katalon for Advanced Distribution Management Systems”?
I see that you are looking to write test cases in Katalon for Advanced Distribution Management Systems. Based on the screenshot you provided, it looks like you have a sample test case that involves actions like:
- Navigating view ports
- Marking and tracing devices
- Clearing marks and traces
Could you please confirm if these elements are accessible via a web interface? This will help us understand how best to approach the automation of these actions in Katalon.
If you could share more specific details or examples of the functionalities you are aiming to test, the community and I can provide more targeted advice and assistance.
Regards,
JM

Hello, thanks for your response! These elements in the test are accessible through the application UI. It does not use web services. I am using a distribution management software that has a UI where we can view the geographic for an electric model in real time. I have test cases for us to be able to operate devices and perform other functionalities through the application.
I am looking for some sample tests in that context.
I have no idea what it is. Is it your inhouse software? or any commercial product? If it is a product, could you disclose the name here?
In either case, I would ask @saylee.koli if the target “distribution management system” provides any API that allows external software (Katalon Studio) to interact with the system. You should use the API if provided. It is a poor idea to try to interact with the system by simulating a human operation on UI with key strokes and mouse moves.
If the system does not provide any API and it is your inhouse software, then you should start with developing an API, and later you can automate it.
If the system does not provide any API and you can not modify it, then you should review if it is worth automating it.
Katalon provides keywords to work with Web UI, Mobile (Android and iOS), API and Windows Desktop. Is your app one of those?
And if your testing is for a Windows application, then the below is important:
Katalon Studio fully supports automation test for desktop apps written in the following platforms: Universal Windows Platform (UWP), Windows Forms (WinForms), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and Classic Windows (Win32).
Hi there @saylee.koli,
