Hi Raghav, I need to create a test suite for API automation in a mobile app project, would you recommend katalon or SoapUI or something else?

[vinushavijay]

Hi Raghav..
Need some information...!!
There are two types of sources available katalon studio (free) & katalon studio enterprise (commercial). I'm looking for open source test automation tools ..
As per my test requirements, assuming that katalon studio works in all aspects like integration with jenkins, git & jira and also using same katalon studio ID in both local and remote machines can work.
In over all, the concepts you have shared does it work for free without any cost for an individual base tester for whole project ?

Hello Raghav, I have a quick question, my katalon is not displaying the response on Json, even if I click on JSON (the app is not converting the script from HTML to JSON), how I can convert my response to JSON?

Hi Raghav,

Thanks for sharing videos.
Your videos are really good and very helpful.
I have a question here, I am trying to perform all the steps which you have mentioned in your video, but I am facing "cannot send the test request site" issue.
I have tried to resolve this but unable to do it.
I have gone through Katalon Forum and tried to find the solution but didn't get the answer.
Could you please help me?

Do I have a question that if you have a knowledge of KATALON STUDIO, how to use and testing or enter commands etc in it then it is possible that you can also use selenium IDE? Is katalon studio works as selenium IDE? Inspecting element is also work as same as in selenium IDE?

[pratheepkumar]

Hai Raghav, OAuth 2.0 is not working when my grand type is Password credentials. Only Bearer is created but not create the access token . Can you please.in postman tool it's working but katalon not working.

[waynejoseph]

Thanks for the great tutorial Raghav :)
I am using the latest version of Katalon: 6.1.5
I followed the example ok and the ABC Bank response code displayed perfectly fine but the History pane on the right remains stubbornly empty despite the successful execution :-/
Is anybody else having the same problem?
Maybe there is a bug in these later versions of Katalon? Or do I have to switch some preference on?

[whereweregoingwedontneedey]

Hi, Is it possible to do iterative tests - i.e. single test but run multiple times with different parameters?

[subodhpatalay]

Hi Raghav, Is there a tutorial to validate data in excel and the response from API?

[LorigemiMasters]

Hi Raghav,
Just now i ran the below REST service by selecting method as POST without HTTPBody and able to service response as Status : 201 created.
Response:
{
"id":"264",

}

Is this correct -- i think Post method should ask body right ?

[elbobs]

Hi Raghav what are the advantages of using katalon? Tks
