Are these two lines are same or different?

I am new to Katalon Studio. I find this line to open a website:

WebUI.openBrowser('https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask')

and also I find this line:

DriverFactory.getWebDriver().get('https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask')

Are these two lines are same or different?

Solution

  • The main difference between these two lines is that WebUI.openBrowser() opens a new browser instance and navigates to the specified URL, while DriverFactory.getWebDriver().get() navigates to the specified URL using an existing browser instance.
