Search and Call Test Cases in Katalon Studio

Call Test Cases

While creating test steps for test cases in Katalon Studio, we can add other test cases as test steps. In this section, let us see how to do this in the Manual and Script view.

Manual View 

Step 1: Open a test case in Manual View and click on Add. Select the Call Test Case option from the dropdown that appears.

Step 2: In the dialogue box, we can see a list of all test cases accessible by the project. Select the test case to be added and click on OK.

This will add the test case as a test step. Note that we can call only one test case at a time, and once added as Call Test Case, the keyword can not be altered.

Script View

Calling a test case in the Script view requires the callTestCase method. After opening a test case in Script view, add the following code after modifying it as per the test case you need to call.

import com.kms.katalon.core.model.FailureHandling 
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory.findTestCase 
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI 
//Call test case using WebUI Class 
WebUI.callTestCase(findTestCase("test_case_ID"), ["key":"value", "key":"value", ...], FailureHandling.OPTION) 
//Call test case using Mobile Class 
Mobile.callTestCase(findTestCase("test_case_ID"), ["key":"value", "key":"value", ...], FailureHandling.OPTION)

The script contains three main values to call the test case. 

• The Test case ID: This is the id of the test case.
   
• Parameters: This is the list of input parameters to the test case. The keys and values are the test case variables and their corresponding values.
   
• FailureHandling: It is an optional parameter that defines the action to be performed in case of a failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Test suite?

A Test Suite is a collection of test cases grouped in some logical manner. They are created and managed in Katalon TestOps.

What are Test Case Variables?

Test Case Variables are similar to programming variables. They help parameterise test cases and supply different inputs while calling them. They replace had-coded values.

Name some Failure handling options in Katalon.

The Stop on Failure option stops execution when an error occurs. The Continue on Failure option ignores any error during execution and sets a failed status. The Optional option also ignores errors but sets a Warning status.
