We hope that this session provided you with a comprehensive look at how easy it is for you and your team to get started with using the Katalon Platform for your project, and that you got to know more about some of Katalon’s smart features that will undoubtedly boost your testing efficiency.
Please see a recording of our Live Walkthrough below …
… and as we could not answer all of your questions due to the 30-minute time limit, we see a list of all of the questions and answers below
This is only Part 1 of our Onboarding Webinar Series designed to help you to get started with Automation Testing in the Katalon Platform. Click on the link below to check out our upcoming webinars!
Q: How to enable/disable Smart Wait at Runtime/through script?
A:
You can use the enableSmartWait and disableSmartWait keywords to enable/disable Smart Wait during the test temporarily. Use the enableSmartWait or disableSmartWait keywords to enable/disable Smart Wait on your target elements.
List pending = WebUI.findWebElements(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Homepage/closetabs’), 30)
int closetabsSize = pending.size()
if (closetabsSize > 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < closetabsSize; i++) {
pending.get(i).click()
}
}
Q: Is it possible to launch chrome with the Katalon Recorder extension loaded, when executing WebUI scripts? This would make it possible to continue recording and interacting with the browser when Katalon scripts have stopped executing but the browser has not yet been closed?
A: Yes, we can do the recording in the active browser also.
Q: How are the web element identified? Is it “ByName” or “ById” or “ByXpath”?
A: It depends on the application type. Katalon, by default, identifies by XPath, but if you want to change the default locator type, then you can do so by modify the settings.
A: TestOps is the process of using automation to centralize and streamline the planning, monitoring, and testing of your software development. The idea is to turn disjointed, siloed teams and processes into a well-oiled engine that allows you to produce better software, faster, and with fewer bugs.

Q: Say you have 400 Test Cases and some are in a Test Suite while others are not. How can you tell which scripts uses variables without having to go into each one? Is there some type of indicator?
A: We can do data mapping at Test Suite level also.
