Katalon Reviews & Product Details

Katalon True Platform is an AI-driven software quality solution designed to unify the software testing lifecycle, enabling Quality Assurance (QA) teams to deliver high-quality software more efficiently. By integrating multiple essential capabilities into a single platform, it addresses the challenges of fragmented testing environments that often hinder productivity and inflate costs. The True Platform encompasses six core functionalities: Manual Testing, Test Automation, Test Management, Test Execution Environment, Reporting & Analytics, and Production Insights, all coordinated by the Katalon AI Assistant. The fragmentation of software quality tools has historically created inefficiencies, with separate tools for each aspect of testing leading to delays and increased costs. Katalon True Platform seeks to eliminate these barriers by automating the entire testing lifecycle, not just the execution phase. This holistic approach allows QA teams to accelerate their delivery timelines, identify defects earlier in the process, and scale their quality efforts without the need for additional personnel. By streamlining the testing process, teams can focus on enhancing software quality and meeting project deadlines more effectively. A standout feature of the True Platform is the Katalon AI Assistant, which enhances productivity at every stage of the testing lifecycle. This embedded AI assistant employs six specialized agents that facilitate various tasks, from analyzing requirements and generating test cases to autonomously executing tests and reporting defects. For instance, the Requirement Analyzer identifies ambiguities in specifications, while the Bug Reporter automates the generation of detailed defect reports, integrating seamlessly with tools like Jira or Azure DevOps. This conversational AI experience keeps users in control while significantly reducing the time spent on routine tasks. Katalon Studio, a well-established test automation tool, remains an integral part of the True Platform. It provides a robust environment for teams seeking in-depth coded test automation, including custom frameworks and complex scripting. The key enhancement is that Katalon Studio now operates in conjunction with the broader platform, ensuring that all outputs are connected to the same test management and reporting infrastructure. This integration allows for a cohesive workflow across the QA team, enhancing collaboration and visibility. Designed to cater to the diverse needs of the entire QA organization, Katalon True Platform accommodates manual testers through intuitive, zero-code workflows, while providing automation engineers with the familiar scripting environment of Katalon Studio. QA managers benefit from real-time dashboards and predictable execution, and QA leaders gain consolidated visibility and cost efficiency by replacing multiple vendor solutions with a single, unified system. This comprehensive approach ensures that all team members can contribute effectively to the software quality process, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and faster delivery times.

"It's going good. I feel productive"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Katalon?

It's ok, I'm forced into it. I feel productive. I'll say it does the job well, accomplishes what we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

The worst thing I'm battling with right now, which I added a post in the community for.

assert myVar == true, if that assertion fails, the test should fail, always.

I seems like it works when my test doesn't have a @TearDown, sometimes. That worries me.

I'm struggling with default values of variables. I don't think neither everything should be a GlobalVariable, nor I should have to define the each argument as a variable. Maybe it's just me but I find myself doing a lot of copy-pasting. In terms of a "scope variables", JMeter got that right. I have N tests in a folder, I can define variables for these tests once.

"Katalon...Test Automation made easy?"

3/5

What do you like best about Katalon?

The thing I like best when working with Katalon is the ability to pick up right where I left off. The ability to create custom keywords is a huge plus. Couldn't do this job without them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

From the get go there is little in the way of formalized training in this platform. Its kind of a learn as you go product and many hours on forums figuring out what you want to do and how to do it. Switching between projects can prove interesting as well from both the studio side and the Test Ops side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Experience with Katalon"

5/5

What do you like best about Katalon?

Katalon’s use of Custom Keywords, Object Repositories, and Data-Driven Testing simplifies maintenance and allows for highly reusable test components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

When you scale up with lots of test cases, test suites, and large object repositories, the IDE can get slow or laggy, especially on lower-end machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Problem Solved: Writing automation scripts from scratch takes time and skills in coding frameworks. Benefit: With its low-code UI, record & playback, and object spy, even manual testers or new QA engineers can quickly build automated test cases. This has helped reduce testing cycles and increased coverage — especially for repetitive regression tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
