Generate test steps in Katalon Studio script view
Once a new test case is created, you can switch to the Script view using the corresponding tab at the bottom of the test case editor. Test steps specified in the Manual view are translated into a Groovy script in Script view.
By using the import statement in a test script, you can reference to the classes you wish to use. Expand the import section to see all default imported classes by Katalon Studio. The name after 'as' in each import statement is an alias for the class. You can change the alias for each class. These classes are necessary for composing a test script.
