What are the ways we can optimize our test scripts for future maintenance purpose?.. One thing I think of is Global variable. Anything suggestions ? @Rahul

[@RahulRathore41]

It depends on your scenario. You can use the properties file, create your custom keyword for repetitive calls, etc.

Hello Rahul, i've been looking for this content since long time, i found it accidentally and this is very informative. I have a query like, Do we have any libraries to validate JSON Response schema like we do in Postman / RestAssured.

[@RahulRathore41]

I think there is some lib that does the validation. Can you provide more detail about the scenario you are automating?

Is it possible to integrate Jira, Jenkins, Git for a Katalon project? @Rahul

[@RahulRathore41]

Yes, it can be integrated with Git and Jenkins. For Jenkins, you need to install the KS runtime engine.

[@dhanushkodiraj6153]

@@RahulRathore41 Thank you Rahul Our question here is: 1. When I trigger the Jenkins for a Katalon project, is it possible to update the test results in Zephyr? 2. If it is possible using KRE, how Jenkins will know to mark the respective test case id in zephyr is Pass or Fail 3.What is the unqiue field of the Automation test script to update the results in Zephyr when run it through Jenkins?

How can i input dynamic data in web UI? I want to input dynamic customer id each time I run the project

[@RahulRathore41]

Create a custom keyword. The custom keyword takes the customer id and an input, append it with a random number, and returns it. Every time you call the custom keyword a unique customer id will be generated. And you can use the same id to fill in UI. Refer to the following sample code. The code generate unique email id. Same logic you can apply for customer id. github.com/CourseRepository/SeleniumAutomationWithKatalonStudio/blob/master/Keywords/com/question/RandomEmail.groovy#L30-#L32

How can we add random number in form of string

[@RahulRathore41]

Refer to the following custom keyword. You can use the same to convert random number to string. github.com/rahulrathore44/SeleniumAutomationWithKatalonStudio7.4.x/blob/764a43aba5de34ad69d1859c9d3121e117b25041/Keywords/com/question/RandomEmail.groovy#L30

How to handle the array in Request body? Can we pass it as a Global variable?

[@RahulRathore41]

Kindly describe your scenario?

[@dhanushkodiraj6153]

@@RahulRathore41 Thank you for your quick response. I have a json request something like { "Data": { "ItemsList": [ "value1", "value2","value3", "value4"], "DateTime":"datetimevalue" } } I am trying to check invalid and empty values in Itemslist array. On using Globalvariable.ItemsList, its printing me [value1, value2,value3,value4] If I pass Globalvariable.ItemsList in the script of SendRequest, i am getting 400 error, invalid request params

[@RahulRathore41]

All the properties in the request body should be in JSON format. If you use "Globalvariable.ItemsList" directly it won't work. You need to convert it into JSON. Something like this def jsonData = JSONArray.toJSONString(GlobalVariable.ItemsList) println jsonData

[@dhanushkodiraj6153]

@@RahulRathore41 Thank You Rahul, I will try it out and let you now here.

[@dhanushkodiraj6153]

Katalon is not able to recognize JSONArray.. Not able to resolve this issue

[@jeremyPog2664]

@RahulRathore41 how do you make this kind of string body format? def stringBody = "{" + "\"BrandName\":\"Alienware\", " + "\"Features\":{ " + "\"Feature\":[ " + "\"8th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-8300H\"," + "\"Windows 10 Home 64-bit English\","+ "\"NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GDDR6\","+ "\"8GB, 2x4GB, DDR4, 2666MHz\" " + "]" + "}," + "\"Id\":" + test_id + ", " + "\"LaptopName\":\"Alienware M17\" " + "}"

[@RahulRathore41]

You can use the following website for that www.freeformatter.com/json-escape.html

Hi, Do you have any videos that demonstrate how to use the snippets for 'Get a variable' and 'Get a global variable (I've tried searching but haven't come across anything so far)? If not, would it be possible to respond with an example of what information you would need to add to each snippet please? GlobalVariable.variable def variables = request.getVariables() def variable = variables.get('yourVariableName') Thank you

[@RahulRathore41]

You can do something like this github.com/rahulrathore44/APITestingWithKatalonStudio7.x/blob/master/Scripts/VerifyGlobalVariables/TC%20-%20GetAllVariable/Script1650125549064.groovy#L21-#L28
