Great video like always! But Katalon does not automatically fill Request messages from WSDL like ReadyAPI/Postman? That seems rather annoying

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Sithian, yes and I believe katalon team is working on that. We might get the feature in new releases

[@karthik_0205]

When I try to run this 4:40 it says service end point undefined. How do I define it?

[@RaghavPal]

Karthik It mostly is due to some incorrect url or end point. Check all the sections of your request, specially the url. Check there should be no spaces. Also check if any headers are required.

[@marutikokane8856]

HI Raghav, How can we change endpoint after importing WSDL file

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Maruti, You can goto the request editor in Object Repository and change it.

[@szelesgabor4667]

If you have to choose which do you use today? Katalon Studio or Jmeter?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Széles, it will depend on the application, requirements and type of testing you need to do

[@szelesgabor4667]

Hi, can you explain? Do you have any example?

[@RaghavPal]

So JMeter is mostly used for performance testing and Katalon Studio is a functional testing tool. You can do functional testing with JMeter, but if its browser application or mobile functional testing, the option will be Katalon Studio. For performance testing of any application, it will be JMeter

[@srikanthrangavarjula3302]

Hello, Very useful thanks for the video. But everytime my values will be different so i don't want to use indexes for validating elements. In that case how should i proceed ?

[@RaghavPal]

You can either validate the presence of the value or can go more deeper to extract all values and put them in a list,array and check the presence of the value

Hi, Raghav I have one doubt there is an option called request message where we are passing XML request body and I got a response successfully. But when I tried the same thing in postman gave the WSDL URL and tried to pass the XML request body inside the body option present in postman as XML and hit the request but did not get the correct response

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Arvind, you may not have selected the type of request like xml, text, json. Pls watch the Postman videos here - automationstepbystep.com/

[@arvindram8]

Automation Step by Step - Raghav Pal thanks for replying I went through that video as well sir and also still tried and facing an issue

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Arvind, I believe you are not providing the type properly in Postman. Request you to check postman documentation

[@arvindram8]

@@RaghavPal thanks for replying I will do it thanks

[@chinmaymehta22]

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Chinmay, did you try toString() func. Can check more online

[@harshithasreenivas5450]

Thanks for the video, I am currently trying it on Katalon version 6.3 . In the input field the "Value" field is of type "Object" and not string, hence my test cases are failing . Can anyone help me out with this. Thanks in advance

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Harshitha, where exactly are you referring to in the video.. Pls tell me the time so I can refer and check.

[@harshithasreenivas5450]

@@RaghavPal Hi Raghav Thanks for the reply, its around 14.48 when we are giving input fields with "Value" "param type" is string in this video but for me its object. Currently its working fine, I am not sure because i hadnt given the output variable in the previous "send and verify" test case

[@RaghavPal]

Okay glad to know its working now. Best wishes.

[@phamthuy3395]
