Migrate Selenium/TestNG/JUnit projects to Katalon Studio

Requirements:

Install Gradle version 5 or prior. You can download from the Gradle website here: Gradle.

To migrate Selenium/TestNG/JUnit scripts to a Katalon Studio project, do as follows:

  1. Create a new project in Katalon Studio. Go to File > New > Project

    Create a new project

  2. Build project dependencies.

    2.1 Open the .gradle file and add the Java dependencies of your Selenium/TestNG/JUnit project.

    Notes:

    • You only need to add the JUnit/TestNG project dependencies that are not Selenium dependencies.
    • Katalon Studio has bundled TestNG, JUnit and Selenium dependencies, you don't need to declare those dependencies again.
    Selenium migration gradle

    2.2 Open the Command Prompt or Terminal and navigate to the folder of your project. Enter gradle katalonCopyDependencies, then wait for the Gradle to build successfully.

    Selenium migration build successful

    2.3 Reopen the project to reload all the dependencies.
