A “hover” is NOT recorded. You have to add the command, WebUI.mouseOver(), to your script if you are using Katalon Studio.

Edit: I would also look into the attribute that the element has that you are looking for and add the command, WebUI.verifyElementHasAttribute(), or WebUI.verifyElementAttributeValue(), to verify the expected displayed “hover” comment.
