In today's fast-paced software development landscape, ensuring the quality of applications is paramount. Automated testing has become a cornerstone in achieving this goal, with tools like Katalon Studio empowering teams to automate tests efficiently. However, effective test reporting remains essential for understanding test results and making informed decisions. In this blog post, we'll explore how to leverage Extent Reports within Katalon Studio to streamline test reporting and enhance visibility into test execution results.
Extent Reports is a flexible and interactive reporting library for Java and .NET. It generates detailed HTML reports that include:
This makes it a go-to tool for enhancing visibility into automated test results.
Create a listener to hook into test lifecycle events (suite start/end, case start/end). This helps you:
import com.katalon.extent.ExtentReportManager import com.kms.katalon.core.annotation.* import com.kms.katalon.core.context.* class ExtentReportListener { @BeforeTestSuite def beforeSuite(TestSuiteContext suite) { ExtentReportManager.startSuite(suite, "Extent Report", "KSE2 QA Test Report") } @BeforeTestCase def beforeCase(TestCaseContext testCase) { ExtentReportManager.startTestCase(testCase) } @AfterTestCase def afterCase(TestCaseContext testCase) { ExtentReportManager.endTestCase(testCase) } @AfterTestSuite def afterSuite(TestSuiteContext suite) { ExtentReportManager.endSuite() }
}
Use the following custom keywords in your test case to enhance the report:
CustomKeywords.'com.katalon.extent.report.ExtentReport.attachLog'("Enter Description here")
CustomKeywords.'com.katalon.extent.report.ExtentReport.addScreenshot'()
Additional Logging Options:
CustomKeywords.'com.katalon.extent.report.ExtentReport.logPass'('Test Passed')
CustomKeywords.'com.katalon.extent.report.ExtentReport.logFail'('Validation Failed')
CustomKeywords.'com.katalon.extent.report.ExtentReport.logInfo'('Step Description')
CustomKeywords.'com.katalon.extent.report.ExtentReport.logWarning'('Caution: Unexpected popup')
