Passing Parameters to Test Suites in Katalon Studio

Katalon Studio allows you to assign global variables to URLs and pass their values via Katalonc command. This feature enables reusing test cases by passing different parameter values. For instance, you can pass a URL as a parameter to your test suite.

In script mode, you can use the `WebUI.openBrowser(GlobalVariable.` syntax to achieve this. However, if you want to run your test suite from the Command-Line Interface (CLI), you need to know whether it is possible to pass input parameters to the test suite.

Fortunately, Katalon Studio supports running test suites with input parameters. In fact, there are no restrictions on installing the Enterprise version in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) machines, but it will cost one license per instance.

For those interested in exploring Katalon Studio's capabilities, integrations, and more, we recommend diving into our comprehensive documentation guide and best practices.

Capturing API Responses

When browsing web apps using Katalon Web Recorder, you may want to capture API responses. Currently, Katalon Web Recorder does not provide this feature. However, there is an alternative method to achieve this via the Chrome DevTools Protocol Integration plugin in script mode. This allows you to intercept and capture network requests.

Failure Handling

When running your test suite, you may encounter failures. To determine whether the execution should continue or stop, specify a failure handling schema in Katalon Studio.

Data Sharing

For those concerned about data sharing from their local machine to the cloud, rest assured that Katalon Studio allows you to restrict data shared with your cloud profile. You can specify which data is shared and where it is stored.

In conclusion, Katalon Studio provides various features to help you automate testing efficiently. By assigning global variables, running test suites with input parameters, capturing API responses, specifying failure handling schema, and restricting data sharing, you can streamline your testing process and ensure better results.
