"Writing Automation Test Scripts based on Java and Selenium made easy. Satisfactory tool!"

What do you like best about Katalon?

The software's best feature is an inbuilt recorder that records all the locators of the elements on navigating any website. While navigating through the app, the elements get higlighted for which you require the locator. There is a shortcut which can be used to save the locator. You can change the setting to let Katalon know which attribute should be used by default. It also supports manual mode, making it easier to write test scripts. The Katalon Studio also has an Object repository which makes it easier to reuse the same locators. In Katalon Studio, we can create multiple test cases and include it in a Test Suite which makes the project more structured. Another good thing is that it can be used to automate test scripts for Web and Mobile applications.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

Although Katalon Studio has some great features, some of its features are not free, unlike Selenium. The locator recording feature is helpful, but it does not provide the desired XPath always. Katalon Studio only supports two languages which are Java and Groovy. Selenium supports more than these two programming languages

Recommendations to others considering Katalon:

The free version has sufficient features to let users write test scripts with ease. If you want those extra features to add more convenience, it should be worth the price.

What problems is Katalon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Katalon Studio is a tool used for writing Automation scripts. We are using it for creating test scripts and running them automatically so that we don't have to run the test cases manually. Also, compared to Selenium, it is easier to use. There are multiple free tutorials available on the web to learn Katalon Studio. The software itself provides some tutorials to help the users.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

Sometimes you need to add a lot of wait times to make your script work and execution time slower in the recent version upgrade

Recommendations to others considering Katalon:

I highly recommend Katalon Studio; it helps you to build an automation framework without complexity and hassle.

What problems is Katalon solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Powerful automation testing solution to get fulfill your requirement"

What do you like best about Katalon?

The newest function of Katalon is to autocorrect my fail syntax that reduces my time, and releases our team productivity. Katalon is not just Katalon Studio, but it a complete automation testing toolset that is tied up together, including Katalon TestOps and Katalon Recorder. Katalon TestOps helps qa engineer to visualize their test results and test reports in real time.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

Sometimes, there are some bugs and sudden crashes down on Katalon TestOps but thank the dedicated supporting team of Katalon, the problems were fixed already.

Recommendations to others considering Katalon:

Katalon Studio is a great tool for someone who are both new to automation testing and requires a high level of technical modification. Katalon Studio is day by day upgrade their solution. You are not gonna regret it when choosing Katalon Studio as a part of your automation testing process.

What problems is Katalon solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a beginner, I have been struggling with xpath syntax. I made a lot of mistakes with this and it stresses me out when just keep running the script to know if my xpath is correct or not. Katalon Studio helps me a lot with the autocorrect function, it really save my time and also the integration to Katalon TestOps - with cool reporting UI and easy to read report.

"Best QA Automation tool with human readable, easy to use UI!"

What do you like best about Katalon?

Human understandable UX design, user-friendly to record, edit, organise and analyse test cases. Supports web, computer and mobile applications. Can be integrated with many 3rd party systems like Jira, TestRail etc. Review of test runs in Katalon Analytics with user friendly controls, teams organisation, relies to test runs etc. Has good coverage of "how to" in help section. Help is also provided by the active community.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

There are lots of functions that need some more info how to use e.g. loading pictures from PC in a test case. Help often refers to old versions. Some features which were free a year ago became paid, IMHO this is not OK, they should add new features for the paid version and not make some of the previously free features paid.

Recommendations to others considering Katalon:

I've seen no better tools. Complex, good UX, can be used for many purposes. Nice tree structure is used for organise test cases, test suites and repository. Supports headless browser tests, and supports test runs on most browsers (IE, Edge, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome). Katalon Analytics is very good, user friendly

What problems is Katalon solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ease to record, edit organise execute and review analytics of test cases. I use it to write test cases for web sites. Great feature is the test case recorder. Has also chrome extensions which can also be used to record test cases.

"Powerful tool for automation and testing"

What do you like best about Katalon?

Katalon Studio presents a powerful platform to setup automation and/or testing environments. It's ability to capture Web functionality and inputs as well as setting up test case suites that can run on an automated basis, makes it a clear winner for IT departments looking to automate and move to a better testing environment. In addition, the reporting allows you to focus and hone in on any trouble spots and get specific information of what went wrong and where. The ability to group test cases into suites and projects as well as have repositories of web parts to reference across all code scripts is beneficial.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

In previous versions of Katalon it allowed for stand alone automation of tests using a batch file without additional costs. Now however, it requires purchase of an engine if you want to run these in the background.

Recommendations to others considering Katalon:

Download the trial version and actually dive in and setup some testing suites. Get familiar with the scripting language and all the powerful features available.

What problems is Katalon solving and how is that benefiting you?

We currently setup katalon (earlier version) to automate verifying single sign on sites we host. The process runs on a scheduled basis, calls Katalon Studio test suites and runs through pulling up each site and logging in and verifying it reaches an acceptable point. We also use in running automated tests on our various APIs to ensure code integrity when changes are made.

"Good tool for non technical testers who wants to start Automation"

What do you like best about Katalon?

Once you are done with the basic setup you can start adding your tests because 50% of the setup is already done by the Client we download.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

It doesn't support AWS device farm so we can not run automation on that.

Community website doesn't have more people to each other and because of that we have to rely on stackoverflow for resolution of issues.

Recommendations to others considering Katalon:

IF you are not good at coding or dont want to get stuck in setup part then Katalon studio is for you.

Less coding and record and play tool.

What problems is Katalon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mobile App automation for Android and iOS platform.
