[Trial Best Practice Day 1] Baby Steps, Big Magic — First Test Case ✨

Hi Trial Buddy :waving_hand: ,

Thanks a ton for checking out and giving Katalon product a try. So… how’s it going so far? Managed to explore anything yet? Feeling a bit overwhelmed?

Totally get it — the product can look confusing at first glance. That’s exactly why we created this Trial Assistant: to help you understand things faster and more efficient.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Usually, a lot of folks drop off in the first week, but trust me — stick with me for a moment. Let’s start with the simplest goal:

:bullseye: Create your very first test case and run it on our product:

It’s really easy. All you need to do is follow these steps:

  • Paste this code into Script mode, then switch to Manual mode to watch the tool auto-convert it for you.
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI

WebUI.openBrowser('')

WebUI.navigateToUrl('https://forum.katalon.com/')  

WebUI.verifyTextPresent('Welcome to Katalon Community', true) 

WebUI.closeBrowser()   

  • After that? Just hit Run. And boom — first win unlocked.

To make this even clearer, I made an example for you here:

:record_button: Record & Playback

Too easy? Let’s play around with something more interesting - easy Record & Playback

:next_track_button: What’s next?

Take your time to try automating a few simple scenarios on your own — or on a favorite website. You can start with things like login/logout, verifying key elements, click actions, and more.

:four_leaf_clover: Hey, if something doesn’t work, don’t stress.

If you hit any weird errors while running your first test, toss them in here. We’re building a museum of “trial chaos” for future newbies. Or you can find more other support materials to reach out on Day 2.

:revolving_hearts: Before we go on, a tiny warm-up question for you:
What’s your current testing practice like, and what do you hope to achieve or assess during your trial?

Don’t leave me talking to myself :joy:, if you do … well I still meet you in Day 2. Hehehe

See yah tomorrow!

P/S: If you’re extra curious (love that for you), go ahead and browse this doc or check out this playlist — it’ll help everything click.
