 Katalon studio provides manual and script both way to write your test cases. You can use manual way but if you have some basic knowledge about programming script will be easy for you.

For manual mode:

If else statement in katalon studio

> greater than

break;



}

Looping statements in katalon studio

For loop:

 for (statement 1; statement 2; statement 3) {

    code block to be executed

}

Statement 1 is executed before the loop (the code block) starts.

Statement 2 defines the condition for running the loop (the code block).

Statement 3 is executed each time after the loop (the code block) has been executed.

While loop: 

while (condition) {

    code block to be executed

}
