Hello Raghav, really you are doing a great job, I am very confused that if we want to learn to automation then learning katalon studio does give full knowledge or we need to learn program language is a must

[srikanthbolisetty]

Thanks for the session Raghav! Can we do DB automation testing using katalon studio

[rajeshv]

Thanks Raghav for demo. I have a query.
How can we add logic for validation? Is it possible or we have only record & play option?

Hi Raghav,
Lets say i have 7 steps in a test case where first 3 steps are part of desktop app ex:PowerPoint, and next 4 steps are web based within PowerPoint. Can i achieve proper reliable automation for this use case ?

[shaileshkeshri]

Hi Raghav,
Thanks for sharing amazing knowledge session but have one doubt. We have few test cases where its required and windows application both to complete test cases. So can we use katalon studio for same? Do we have such feature where we can automate test cases where we have web and windows application, both?

[dhliu]

amazing, I only know how to record web app before, thanks sir let me know how record the winform app

[makarandethape]

Hi Raghav, We are using WinAppDriver Tool here. So for WinAppDriver we can only test on Windows 10, am i right ?Also i want to perform desktop application testing for client's application which is data driven application. Which would be the most suitable and easy for testing - WinAppDriver with Selenium, Or WinAppDriver with Katalon Studio ?

[its_me_madhuri]

Hi Raghav, this
demo is good for beginners. I am following your videos actually. One question I have is you mentioned to enable developer mode in settings but as per our company policy developer mode is disabled..Can we do our tests without developer mode for desktop application for Excel addin testing..??

[sonujain]

Hi raghav, is katalon a free tool?? Can we use katalon for desktop applications for test automation with the use of winapp driver??

[discoverkatalon]

Thanks Raghav ... Can you please talk about Katalium Server.

[kptechchannel]

Thanks and I really appreciate your work. I have one question related to support, is support only windows 10! or supports as well for Windows Server 2016, 2019???!

[cubictest]

Is this Katalon studio will perform load testing as well(For Desktop application)?

[Gouravjain]

Can we integrate with this Jenkins or Azure pipeline? Under azure devops

Is this a free tool or licensed one?

[sunrisesoft]

hey Raghav!
Thanks for the great tutorial.
However, can we automate the windows application installing process using Katalon?
thanks!

[fakhruzzahidwahdah]

Thaks for video. are there any tools for testing visual code extensions?

[王冠信-oc]

Thank you for sharing.

As the 9:46 behavior shows, the default behavior is to catch the application on the screen, otherwise, the screen view won't render. I can pop up the application and "Refresh Screen", though. And the test might fail since the application needs to be explicitly shown on the screen. For now, I am happy with it.


Does Katalon provide the screenshot or screen recording when executing the test cases?

Sincerely,
Guan-Xin
