Having another go with the Katalon Academy. I've noticed that when you're doing Record and Playback, things go wrong quite rapidly when you point at sites other than the simple ones they use for their tutorials.

I was just clicking around on the BBC and ended up with errors on playback. I know coders who are positively gleeful about the limitations of no-code/low-code automation testing.

Anyway, maybe I'm tired, but I'm finding it quite frustrating.

Is it me, or is API testing boring? Here's my conceptual (and possibly crude) understanding of it.

One day you will have a front end -- an online form, say -- that makes use of the API, but you don't at the moment, so you have to make use of API testing tools.

So you send the request --
id=x, name=y -- and check the response.

The test is just an assertion that you got the right response.

There's surely more to it than that.

I'm not sure I fully understand the #fediverse and all the different servers. I made the mistake of trying to log in to #mastodon (#mastodon.social as it turned out), but apparently you have to be on the correct server. Doh! I believe the expression is.

I joined this server because it seemed to be about #IT, but it seems quite quiet here. Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing.

Yesterday, I started another RP #Katalon course, this time on #API testing. 6 years old, but still good.

Okay. I'm a bit Katalon frazzled.

I would welcome a sample project to work through that requires the following:

Adding an item to an application that can't be added again because duplicate names are not allowed. Therefore, on rerunning the test, the test would fail. How to resolve this?

Uploading a file to an application: e.g., supporting documentation.

The applications used in RP's masterclass are all super simple and essentially for PoC.

I couldn't wait, so I downloaded the Katalon Studio Enterprise trial and followed along with the tutorials. I don't have the Katalon Runtime Engine, but I get the running the tests from the command line bit.

This suite does desktop application and API testing, as well as the web applications, which so far have been the focus of Raghav's masterclass.

This might be a bit of an obsession with me for a while.

Mastodon says use hashtags, so...

In today's video I am showing you the AI power of @katalon. Take a look how easy it is to generate test cases right in JIRA or how to generate test automation in Katalon Studio or how easy it is to get code explained by AI 🤯.
