Hi everyone, 👋

Did you know that with Katalon Studio version 10.x, the platform now follows the W3C WebDriver standard?

With the adoption of Selenium 4, Katalon Studio follows the W3C WebDriver standard, which is now the default protocol for configuring browser capabilities. If your project includes capabilities that do not comply with this standard, the session may fail to start. If you’re using a remote testing service such as LambdaTest, Sauce Labs, or BrowserStack, ensure your capabilities comply with the W3C WebDriver standard.

In this Article, we will be looking into what are the changes you need to do when integrating Katalon Studio version 10.x with Cloud platforms like BrowserStack, SauceLabs, LambdaTest.

### 1. Integrating BrowserStack with Katalon Studio version 10.x

#### Web Testing

- Place `browserName`capability in the Desired Capabilities.
- Place remaining desired capabilities like `os`, `osVersion`, `browserVersion`, `userName`, `accessKey`, etc.. in a Dictionary named as `bstack:options`

→ To generate the correct capabilities for Browserstack **Web** testing, you can navigate to the [**Browserstack Capability Web Generator**](https://www.browserstack.com/docs/automate/capabilities) and select like below:

→ In Katalon Studio, you can go to: **Project \> Settings \> Desired Capabilities \> Remote** 🎆

#### Mobile Testing

- Place `platformName`, `appium:platformVersion`, `appium:deviceName`, `appium:app` capability in the Desired Capabilities.
- Place remaining desired capabilities like `userName`, `accessKey`, etc.. in a Dictionary named as `bstack:options`

→ To generate the correct capabilities for Browserstack **Mobile Application** testing, you can navigate to the [**Browserstack App Capability Generator**](https://www.browserstack.com/docs/app-automate/capabilities) and select like below:
