Common validation statements with Katalon Studio

Katalon Studio supports two methods to validate. One is using built-in keywords to verify the states of certain test objects. Another is to use checkpoints to verify a specific data set against a previously captured data set. This tutorial explains how to make use of these methods when designing your automation test.

Validation with Captured Objects

On the test case editor, you can add a validation keyword to validate a captured object. Follow these steps to add a validation point to your Katalon Test case:

1. From the Manual view, add a new keyword for your test case.

2. When the new keyword is added, scroll down to see all available Verify keywords and select a suitable one.

3. Specify a test object for the validation. The following dialog appears to allow selecting a relevant element.

4. Your validation point with Verify Element Present keyword will look similar to the following example:

Validation with Checkpoints

If you want to verify whether a data set is still the same, you can use checkpoints.

Katalon Studio supports many types of data source for checkpoints such as Excel, CSV, Database and checkpoint description.

Manual Mode:

Script Mode:

import static com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory.findCheckpoint

'Use WebUI keyword'

'Use Mobile keyword'
