WEB, MOBILE, API, DESKTOP Automation frameworks - all available in the free version and lots of plugins to connect to your test management tools.

No need to write complex codes nowadays to perform test automation as Katalon provides in-buillt functions ready to be customised and used in a very user friendly interface.

So far, I enjoy all the features. no complaints

Do not give a second thought. It is currently the most robust, reliable and complete package for an automation solution.

Katalon Test Studio has helped me to overcome the issue of automated regression testing within projects I have worked.

The time for training new automation testers with this tool and the time to write new test cases is very less compared to other automation solutions, hence it is a quick and reliable tool when it comes to implement for any project.

Detailed reports and Test ops provide a better visibility on test execution runs and can be monitored over a historical period of time to track stability of code.

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.

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.

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.

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.

User friendly for beginer tester

I spent literally few minutes figuring out how this tool is working - really straithforward, simplistic and effective tool

More emphasis is put into true testing than to programming

Codeless tool - people with no programming background can ceate tests

Visual representation of test steps

Scripting option - scripts in Groovy language (Java family) makes test reusable and customizable. You can also write code in Java since these languages are fully compatible

IDE is just great - it gives you code completion, syntax highlighting and all of the other tools of professional code editors

Data driven tests

Free product

Much more options than other codeless test automation solution I tried

You do't have option to continue recording test steps, however I heard that in new version this should be fixed

Occasionally freezes

Some small bugs

Sometimes is problem to click correctly into dropdowns and other controls - UI components could be more user friendly

More export option would be great

Great tool to create automated tests solution and also to automate your day to day recurring tasks.

Test automation - acceptance or E2E testing was really important to include in our team worflow.

Writing test in standard Selenium code based tools could be problematic for testers without programming experiences. Also this kind of codeless solutions give you option to create your test suites much more faster. You can also create automated scripts which can help you to focus on more creative tasks.

Userfriendly interface

Usable documentation

Kinda different opportunities to combine dirrent tests Web/Api

Katalon TestOps scedule runs

Integrations

Supp & Onboard teams

Katalon studio - project launch time due to number of test cases/suites

Capturing custom drop-downs via recorder

Inability to use ihering from parent in auth API requests

Starting Automation without previous knowledge

TestOps tests runs and reports

Speeding performance regarding to reduction of manual testing

Katalon Studio’s users could be the testers with limited technical knowledge. Katalon Studio hides all technical complexities behind the scene and provides friendly UI with the manual mode (user can drag-drop, select keywords and test objects to form test steps), but still keeps necessary weapons for more technically powerful users who are able to dig deeper into coding with the scripting mode that fully supports development conveniences like syntax highlighting, code suggestion and debugging

At this moment I don't have any negatives on the tool

Katalon Studio is a better solution than Selenium based open source frameworks. Built on the top of Selenium and Appium, Katalon Studio is a free and powerful automated testing tool for web testing, mobile testing, and API testing.

There are a lot of automation tools that do not require the user to be an expert to make use of them. So, next time, when you have a new test project with many test cases that fall into the mentioned situations above, take some time to consider an automation plan to make your release cycle faster and boost the overall productivity of the team.

1. Katalon platform effectively allows us to solve major challenge in cross-browser testing while we test website applications across browsers & other devices.

2. It eliminates the tremendous efforts involved with automation, since I can test on multiple browsers & devices through parallel testing approaches.

3. We needn't install or maintain any agents or emulators in Katalon platform. It has all the test dependencies in their cloud UI.

4. The test coverage offered by Katalon platform is comprehensive which gives me the much needed confidence that the application will be preferred by majority of the users after it passes all of our test cases.

1. In some cases, we experienced latency issues during test cases build execution from AWS CodeBuild projects.

2. Apart from this minor inconvenience, we are satisfied with the services offered by Katalon platform for our cross-browser test cases.

3. For troubleshooting issues during debugging phase, we can make use of its status-view feature to gain insights of the in-progress test case executions.

4. Its platform interface is easy to comprehend for beginners & it allows all of our team members to work effectively on our Production deliverables.

1. Katalon platfom is a cloud-based low-code testing platform which doesn't require much experience with programming.

2. We make use of its data-driven testing features to read inputs from our on-premise & cloud database with multiple datasets for automation testing.

3. It provides seamless integration with our AWS CodeBuild projects & we can orchestrate multiple test executions without any upfront costs.

4. Also it provides testing templates for frequently used web application testing techniques such as functionality testing, interface testing, platform compatibility testing and performance testing. This saves us a lot of time & efforts while working with automated test execution procurements.

I like that Katalon is a singular tool that I can use for both frontend and API testing. I am able to automate API tests and validate them using test cases. I can also create test suites that I can run whenever I need to test multiple different functions of an application. I also like that I can program tests to perform differently depending on circumstances.

I do not like that learning how to code using Katalon is not very intuitive. I also dislike the speed in which front-end UI tests run. The support for using Katalon studio feels outdated or nonexistent at times. I have trouble finding information on how to program different things.

I think that Katalon is best used for their easy to create front end tests. I think it would be ideal for large test scenarios involving multiple complex steps. Integration testing is it's speciality. I do not think Katalon is really cut out for extremely fast front end tests though. I also think that utilizing Katalon for it's automated API testing is a great idea because of the flexibility it provides with global variables as well as test-specific variables. If you really want your tests to be dynamic depending on certain aspects of the user's experience, you could even incorporate conditional statements.

I am able to automate API tests which make it much faster for me to test the core functionality of the projects I am working on. I am also able to build and run front end tests by simply recording my actions on the screen.
