Desktop applications testing with Winium in Katalon Studio

Note:
  • Windows Desktop app testing is temporarily unavailable in Katalon Studio 10.x. Please use version 9.x to access this feature. For more details, refer to the 10.0.0 release notes.

Katalon Studio primarily supports WebUI, Mobile, and API automation testing. To test desktop applications, you can use a Winium .jar package as a workaround.
  1. Download and extract the 1.6.0 Winium.Desktop.Driver.zip file from the Winium.Desktop GitHub release page: Winium.Desktop releases.
  2. Run Winium.Desktop.Driver.exe.
  3. Download the jar package here: Download Winium jar package.
  4. Go to Project > Settings > Library Management. In the External Libraries section, add the winium-elements-desktop-0.2.0-1.jar and winium-webdriver-0.1.0-1.jar.
  5. Copy and paste the following script to Katalon Studio.
    The script imports the Winium driver, then open the calculator and perform the predefined tasks.
