Decision-making statements in Katalon studio

The Katalon Studio offers both manual and script-writing options for your test scenarios. You can use the manual method, but if you know a little about programming, using the script will be simple for you.

For manual mode

If else statement

Syntax

If(Condition){

//write your statements…………

}else{

//write your statements…………

}

Operator used:

• == equal
• != different (or not equal)
• < less than
• <= less than or equal
• > greater than
• >= greater than or equal

For manual mode

Switch statement

Syntax:

switch(varA){

case 1:

//statement..............

break;



case 2:

//statement..............

break;



case 3:

//statement..............

break;

default:

//statement..............

break;

}

Looping statements in Katalon Studio

Let's see how to create looping statements in Katalan Studio using manual mode and script mode.

For manual mode

For loop

Syntax:

for (statement 1; statement 2; statement 3) {

    //code block to be executed

}

• The loop (the code block) begins before Statement 1 is performed.
• The requirement for executing the loop is specified in Statement 2 (the code block).
• Once the loop (the code block) is run, statement 3 is carried out.

For manual mode

While loop

Syntax:

while (condition) {

    //code block to be executed

}

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you run a test case multiple times in Katalon?

Call the current test case and add a loop statement.

What is a dynamic test suite?

You can manage and define query plugins from the Katalon Store using Dynamic Test Suite.

What language is Katalon?

Groovy, a Java-based language used by Katalon Studio, requires the loading of numerous libraries to parse test data, test objects, and logging.

How do you call one test case from another test case in the robot framework?

Inside the keyword area, you can write your reasoning. The Test script will then receive the Name of the Custom Created keyword (Equal String).

What is unit testing?

The smallest testable components of an application, known as units, are separately and independently examined for proper operation during the software development process.
