What is Headless Testing?
Headless Testing is a way to run the browser in a headless environment without the full browser UI. One of the benefits of using headless testing is that your JavaScript tests will be executed in the same environment as users of your site. Katalon Studio supports headless browser execution for both Chrome and Firefox.
