Create your first automation script in Katalon Recorder

Broadly speaking, there are usually two steps to create an automate scenario in Katalon Recorder: 1. Add commands to interact with websites 2. Add verify or assert commands to make sure your test case follows the correct flow.

Add commands to interact with websites​

To get started, use the Recorder to automatically create a test case:

  • Click on the Record button.

  • Switch to the currently active tab.

  • Start interacting with your website.

  • Switch to Katalon Recorder.

  • Click the Stopbutton.

You should see your interactions are recorded as a test case.

Add verify or assert commands​

There are two ways to add verify or assert commands.

After the recording of a test case​

If you just have just recorded a test case:

  • Add a new test step through the toolbar item.

  • Type verify orassert in the Command field of the new test step.

  • Choose from the list of available suggested commands (for exampleverifyElementPresent).

  • Click on the buttonSelect a target element for the current commandlocated next to the Target field of the new test step.

  • Switch to the currently active tab.

  • Select an element on the page.

  • Switch back to Katalon Recorder.

You should see the newly created assert or verify command for the target element.

During the recording of a test case​

If you are recording a test case:

  • Right-click on the target element.

  • Choose a command from the context menu item Katalon Recorder (Selenium tests generator).
