    That is not the common behaviour.

    Unless of course, you are starting a new test by navigating to the URL again instead of continuing your test from where the previous one concluded.

    Navigating from one page to the next with a wait command does not expect a new Navigate operation to be issued.

     

    Hope that helps

      Hi,

       

      Katalon Studio is based on Selenium which architecturally implements unit-testing/integration approach. I.e. test results are binary and tests are atomic and independent.

      TestComplete, on the contrary, is more the end-to-end functional testing tool, which means that test results are not binary (i.e. test may report problems but it is up to you to consider it to be passed or failed) and tests can be chained in order to compose a business task flow out of simple atomic actions.
