Katalon for Desktop Testing - Easy setup and configuration
Easy setup and configuration – both locally and remotely
You can run Katalon Studio locally (on macOS and Linux) or remotely to test the app from a different Windows device.
The Spy Windows Objects and Record Windows Action features in Katalon Studio reduce your configuration effort. Your team can now minimize the configuration steps and focus more on inspecting locators, recording actions, and so on.
Katalon for Desktop Testing - Detect and spy Windows objects
Detect and spy Windows objects
The Spy Windows feature allows you to explore, analyze, and capture all running desktop app objects and add them to the object repositories. You can specify an object name or locate methods from the Spy Windows interface. Spy Windows Objects saves you time on test analyzing and objects locating.
Katalon for Desktop Testing - Record Windows actions
Record Windows actions
The Record Windows Action feature helps record test actions, inspect all running app objects, and present them in a tree view.
The Record feature can highlight an object, auto-scroll to inspect elements, display an actual Screen View, and modify test steps during recording. Record Windows Action is the easiest way for new automation testers to adopt.
Katalon for Desktop Testing - Smart elements locating
Smart elements locating
Katalon Studio supports various locators to find UI elements. The supported locator strategies with their corresponding UI element attributes include accessibility ID, class name, ID, name, tag name, and XPath.
