The BiometricsAuthenticator class in Katalon TestCloud allows users to simulate biometric inputs to test native mobile applications. To use it, follow these steps:

1. Open your project in Katalon Studio and go to Project Settings > Desired Capabilities > Remote. Add the boolean property enableBiometricsAuthentication=True.
   
2. In the Keywords folder, create and declare the BiometricsAuthenticator class under package com.katalon.testcloud.

   public class BiometricsAuthenticator{
       @Keyword
       def authenticatePass();
   
       @Keyword 
       def authenticateFail();
   }

You can now use the keyword to test biometric authentication.
