Can we expect feature to test GUI of application. Similar to Appitools(https://applitools.com/) or https://sentinel-a.github.io/

It would be really useful to compare acutal images with baseline images

Let me know if you haven’t get my point

Hi Hari Charan,

Thanks for sending suggestion.
From your recommend links, we can see the point of running test across many platforms, comparing images from those environments with a baseline one to detect any difference occurs if any.

For image tesing, we only have verifyImagePresent keyword (https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/[WebUI]+Verify+Image+Present) at the moment.
Users can also import sikuli library to leverage its function.

Anyway, your proposed idea is really interesting and we will consider implementing this feature should demand is high enough.

Let us know if you have any suggestion.

Yea, you got the point. Katalon should be intelligent enough to detect the changes in the image compared with Basline. That’s what Applitools is doing.
I am really fond of Visual Based Testing comparing images with baseline and
Locating elements with images - using Sikuli

Please have a look at
https://github.com/kazurayam/UsingApplitoolsWithinKatalonStudio

This will show you how I managed to use Applitools within Katalon Studio. Applitools is a visual testing and monitoring service. In this demo, a Test Case instanciates an Applitools’ Eyes object and calls its methods. The Eyes object takes screenshots of AUT and transfer images to the Applitools service where various testing/monitoring features are offered.

It worked for me.

The combination of Applitools and Katalon Studio looks attractive to me.

Please have a look at “Visual Testing in Katalon Studio” Visual Testing in Katalon Studio

This will show you how I managed to perform “visual based testing” within Katalon Studio, without Applitools.
