Katalon Recorder Introduction
Katalon Recorder is a browser extension that allows users to record and playback web interactions for automated testing. It helps create and run test cases without advanced programming skills.
Katalon Recorder is an alternative to the Selenium IDE tool.
Install the Katalon Recorder extension on your browser and set up your first test script.
Katalon Recorder Features
Some of the features are as follows:
-
Record and Playback: Just like Selenium IDE, Katalon Recorder enables users to record their actions in a browser and automatically generate test scripts based on those actions. These tests can then be played back, providing an easy way to automate testing.
-
Supports Multiple Browsers: Katalon Recorder is compatible with various browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, allowing cross-browser testing without additional configuration.
-
Test Scripting: While the tool is focused on providing an easy-to-use interface, it also allows for more advanced users to write or modify test scripts in JavaScript or Selenium WebDriver commands, providing flexibility for automation.
-
Test Case Organization: You can organize tests into test suites, making it easier to manage and run multiple tests in a sequence.
-
Export Options: Katalon Recorder allows users to export test scripts in various formats, such as Selenium WebDriver code (Java, Python, C#, etc.), which is useful for integrating with other tools like Katalon Studio or Jenkins.
-
Data-Driven Testing: It allows for data-driven testing by using external files (like CSV or Excel) to provide different sets of data for test cases, improving test coverage.
- User-Friendly Interface: Designed to be accessible for testers of all skill levels, providing a straightforward way to create and manage tests.
- Assertions: Validate that specific elements, texts, or attributes are on the web page to ensure the application behaves as expected.
-
Custom Commands: Create and use custom commands for repetitive actions or complex operations not covered by default commands.
- Variable Management: Define and use variables to store dynamic data and enhance the flexibility of your test scripts.
