Sign In Test Authoring With Katalon: Increasing Test Reusability and Maintainability with Variables
About Course
Variables are a common concept that allows you to store and manipulate values, which can then be used throughout your test automation scripts. With variables, you can create more efficient and maintainable test automation scripts, which can greatly increase test coverage and reusability.
Beginners should know how to use variables and apply them early to their automated tests to avoid the possible negative impact of hard-coded value, which can include code duplication, increased maintenance cost due to difficulties in updating test data, and reduced test reusability and flexibility.
This course introduces you to the concept of variables and how to use Katalon Studio to quickly apply them to your automated test cases.
In four chapters, you will learn about:
- The concept and benefits of applying variables instead of hard-coded values
- The scope of different types of variables supported in Katalon Studio
- How to define and assign values to variables using Groovy
- The common use cases of different types of variables in Katalon Studio (with demo)
By the end of this course, you will understand the benefits of variables and how to use them in Katalon Studio at a basic level.
