Nicely explained. Thank you very much sir.

[@RaghavPal]

Most welcome Pallishree

[@sumitsaha9782]

Hi Raghav. Thanks for the tutorial. Can we perform parallel executions with multiple profiles and with multiple browsers using Command Line Mode ? For e.g just like in the tutorial I've added two test suites in Test Suite Collector and each test suite is configured with two different profiles (dev and staging) and two different browsers (Chrome and Firefox). Can we do something like this in Command line mode. Please advise ?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Sumit, if you have configured all this in a test Suite Collection, then you can run the same test suite collection from command line.

Hello I have a question about Katalon Studio. I have a script that in Selenium IDE, I used javascript to set a variable and use it in all my test cases within that Suite. In Katalon I want to do the same. I can capture today's date using groovy : use(groovy.time.TimeCategory, {->...}} println(today.format("MM/dd/yyy")) or new date() The problem is , I want to use code in the Execution Profile for a global variable that will change daily.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Ann, so you can make this code as a custom keyword and can use it as per your needs

[@LayanSooriyaarachchi]

Hi Raghav, Is it possible to add the base URL of a rest web service project to the profiles in this way? Need to add the same base URL variable for all the requests in the project and the value for it need to be set from one place (for environments like QA, UAT etc.)

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Layan, yes its possible, and this is one of the intended use of profiles. as base url might differ in env like QA, Reg, Dev etc. So you can put this in profiles and in your request refer this global variable. For example if your base url is qa.example.com here you can put a variable like ${BaseUrl} and refer this from profile.

[@LayanSooriyaarachchi]

@@RaghavPal Yes I was able to do this. Thanks a lot Raghav

[@gunayuvan9189]

[@fishkill7777]

Hi Raghav, thanks for the video tutorial! How can I get execution profile to work with different databases?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi, You can use Data Source as data base as shown here www.katalon.com/resources-center/tutorials/data-driven-testing/ Then you can use variables in place of connection string and provide the value from global variables.

Hi Raghav, How to apply execution profile for SOAP API testing. I got wsdls on different environment(QA, DEV etc.,) & would like to fetch the wsdl based on the "url" that's been added to the execution profile.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Shanmugapriya, you can add all wsdl and then have some variables with values changing with env that can be reffered from profiles. A part of the url can also be reffered from global variables.

[@puneethchidura3713]

Hi Raghav, Thanks a lot for the above video. When i created a new test suite collection , under Run With section i could see only "Web Service" option. And i am unable to see any other option apart from it such as browsers(chrome or Firefox). Could you please help me with this. How can i see browser options for the newly created test suite collection and profile combination. Note : i am unable to see the browsers under "Run with" column for the default profile too. Thanks.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Puneeth, when you make your project type web service then browser options is not shown as it is not required for API testing. You can create a generic type project and then you will get all options.
