Introduction

The Katalon Studio supports API Testing with RESTful and SOAP Services. We can import their definitions from various sources to create and test a single test request or to make functional test scripts. 

Katalon Studio reinforces sending RESTful requests, which are parameterized and have body data and authorization. 

Importing Requests

For importing test requests from Postman, the following steps need to be performed:

1. Export the Postman collection to JSON.
2. In the Katalon Studio, click on the Postman icon after choosing the project type as API/Web service.

3. A few different possible ways to import test requests from Postman is by following the below steps:

  • Click Action
  • API/Web Service
  • Import Postman from the menu bar.
Import Postman
  • In the Tests Explorer panel
  • Right click on Object Repository 
  • Go to Import 
  • From Postman.

 

3. In the dialog box that appears, browse to the exported Postman local file and click OK.

4. After doing so, the corresponding test requests will be imported to Katalon Studio.

Note: The project must have an API/Web Service type to see the above icons. 

Opening the Sample Request folder will show the test requests we generated earlier and provide the request response on executing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RESTful API?

An API is a set of rules that one must follow to communicate with different software systems. RESTful API is like a platform used by two computer systems to exchange information safely over the internet.

What is Postman?

Postman is an API platform used for operating and building APIs. Postman helps to create better APIs by simplifying each step of the API life cycle and streamlining the collaboration.

What is API Testing?

API Testing is software testing that requires testing the APIs directly and checking the programming interface's reliability, functionality, and performance. API Testing is performed at the business layer.
