Test Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Katalon - sweet spot for GUI automation" April 23, 2019 4.0 We are using Katalon Studio for GUI automation. The tests run quickly, and are heavily customizable past Katalon's own Web UI functions. Pros Katalon is easily one of the best open source software tools for GUI automation testing. Its intuitive interface requires a minimal learning curve and with the official documentation online, someone with zero testing/coding experience can write a comprehensive test. Test suites and collections allow enterprise level testing by allowing users to run numerous tests in series or parallel in different browser configurations. If you have some experience as a programmer, Katalon's modularity allows it to be extremely flexible. Programmers can write robust keywords (functions) and classes, that can extend testing functionality. The Cucumber integration makes it easy to write BDD tests. Katalon also allows you to import .jar files to extend functionality making the program even more robust. Katalon also runs its tests quickly and provides users to run tests through command line allowing for Jenkins integration which is necessary for enterprise level testing. Cons Katalon is an excellent software, but it is not without its bugs. For convenience I will list them: - Biggest issue is documentation. There is some great official documentation for Katalon, but there is also a lack of basic API documentation. I had to go to a Katalon forum to figure out about object parameterization. Why are the Web UI functions not explicitly documented? The links to the docs I've seen online are all dead. - Issues with building project path/classes: sometimes if you try to write classes and use them in other classes (OOP) Katalon will not recognize the class and you have to restart the program for a clean build. This was most prominent in how the Cucumber tests have to be structured. Feature files and step definitions have to be in specific locations, and there is not really any official documentation for this. - Git integration: While Katalon does come with Git integration, integration is limited to a project scope. If you clone a project through Katalon's interface, it treats the entire repository as a project which is kind of annoying. - Reports: It seems strange that Katalon offers so much flexibility but then doesn't allow users to customize their reports and build them as they see fit. - Object repository: There should be a way to import test objects/have a shared object repository between projects. Can you just put all your tests under one project? Yes, but it doesn't always make sense to do so and can lead to a cluttered project.

It is great to test both my web and mobile projects in the same environment and support with powerful reports. Otherwise, sending the test results to your email address after the test is completed is amazing in reaching each test step on Katalon Analysis Beta. With the Recoder feature, recording and executing the tests provides great convenience especially for regression tests. The interface is very useful. The program is constantly alive and in development. New versions and improvements are available. Automating mobile testing is easy with the Katalon. In addition to the ready-made keywords in your structure, you can define custom keywords and improve your test capacity. I don't think you can find a tool that's free and with these features, it's a great Katalon! Pros With advanced technology, high-quality applications are now inevitable. Manual testing of applications also slows down this rapid process. Considering the different factors such as slowness as well as multi-platform support, cross-browser, responsive design and more, an application's manual test may leave you with unexpected complications and extra efforts. So what do we do then? Remedy Automation Tests: Although the automation test may seem to take more time at the beginning, it has proved to be a more effective approach in the long term in terms of both time and resources since the time of the automation solution. In projects that require intensive regression testing, their utility greatly increases. The ability to re-use the established test scenarios by other teammates is also a big plus. Katalon Studio is a program that you can use to test your Web and Mobile applications. Java-based program can use all the features in a free way. You can start using the program without having any technical knowledge. You can create test cases quickly thanks to the keywords in the program. One thing I would like to mention is the Cross Platform feature. The script you write is a program that allows you to test Cross Platform (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internel, etc.) without writing additional code. I recommend you to use.The interface is useful, but it has a lot of integration with many systems such as JIRA, GIT, KATALON ANALYSIS BETA. Has a very strong reporting structure. Cons I don't think it is very useful for web service and API testing. There may be more browser support. Sometimes you feel helpless when you get stuck somewhere when you get an error as community help is not that strong. Review Source Lucas W. Quality Assurance Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Primeiro contato positivo" March 23, 2023 5.0 Permite o usuário a testar a ferramenta gratuitamente por tempo indeterminado, a unica necessidade de contratação seria em caso de escalonamento de uso, múltiplos projetos e test cloud.A curva de aprendizado é bem curta e como usa java + groovy, é uma syntax muito amigável para novos membros do time. Pros Interface amigável e curva de aprendizado muito curta, consegui implantar a ferramenta em poucos dias e o resultado tem sido muito promissor Cons infelizmente o custo por módulo é um pouco alto, mas a Katalon permite o acesso pagando uma mensalidade, que em comparação a outros softwares é bastante acessível Alternatives considered [Selenium IDE](https://www.capterra.com/p/234796/Selenium-IDE/) Reason for choosing Katalon Studio O selenium tem uma curva de aprendizado maior, e como ele funciona sem interface, acaba sendo menos amigável para novos membros, apesar de ser gratuito. Switched from [TestComplete](https://www.capterra.com/p/164477/TestComplete/) infelizmente o testcomplete da SmartBear é muito caro, e não trazia a possibilidade de usar a ferramenta de uma forma mais acessivel, os planos iniciam de forma cara.

Entrepreneur Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "an Excellent Automation Testing Solution for Everyone " December 11, 2020 4.0 It helped me a lot by saving me a lot of time because I do some tasks automation on it and I run some tests to see what's working and what's not. It's free and easy to use and it's perfect for everyone especially for a small business like me who don't need to have programming skills to runs some web and API tests and do Web Automation. It's an amazing tool and I hope the Katalon Studio team will keep improving it in the future. Pros I like it because It's % Free tool and It's very easy to use with an excellent user interface. It helped me to test some Automation tasks using an Excel spreadsheet and I find it very useful especially the record option because I don't need to code anything I just need to click record and start to do my task from A to Z and after this, I will just put everything into a Loop and all my tasks are fully Automated. It's very easy to use and I saved a lot of time using it because I don't have much experience as a programmer and to get someone to program an Automation tool for your business is very expensive but, with the Help of Katalon Studio now I have the Knowledge to Automate any simple task I have. I run some tests on multi browsers and It's very easy to create cross-browser testing and It allows me to do multi API and Web service testing too. I love when I get real-time reports about the performance of my test so, I can fix the bug without checking everything. I like the pre-installed templates because for someone with a little knowledge of coding I can just use Katalon templates and they get the work done without any problem. They have an amazing support team and a lot of blog posts and question answered on their Community website also, I like when they send me a lot of useful tips and tricks by Email weekly and there's a lot of YouTube Videos about this tool and I learned a lot from it too. Cons They can add more features and integrate with other testing and automation tools because this will help in saving a lot of time. They can improve their Recorder tool and they can add more Browsers too. Review Source Sadri F.

Sinon l'outil est l'un des meilleurs. Pros Katalon studio est un outil excellent.Il s'integre avec tout presque, il importe des tests case depuis Selenium, depuis open api v2 ou v3. Cons On a commencé à l'adapter, mais le changement de politique de licence était trop agressive.On a eu besoin de changer l'activation offline par une online : Le support a refusé, il fallait attendre un mois pour faire ce type de changement Alternatives considered [ReadyAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/174229/LoadUI-Pro/) Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Katalon Studio permet de faire des tests UI Switched from [Parasoft SOAtest](https://www.capterra.com/p/207900/Parasoft-SOAtest/)[ReadyAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/174229/LoadUI-Pro/) On a avait une licence sur un serveur pour faire tourner les tests automatiquement dans le pipeline de release.Lorsqu'on a voulu renouveler et acheter de nouvelles licences, ce type de licence n'existe plus et il faut acheter une licence katalon studio entreprise par utilisateur. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software QA Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Automated Software Testing Tool for non technical software testers" June 23, 2020 4.0 We needed a tool that will help us write regression tests within the shortest possible time with the skillset of the testing team and after surveying different tools like it, it was the best choice. We were able to achieve our goal and now we can improve and expand our tests. Pros What I like most about Katalon Studio is that you don't need to have programming experience to begin automating software products. It is in my opinion, the best record and play tool out there for test automation. Cons It is difficult to use at initial interaction but with regular use of the tool, it gets better. Also, integrating automated tests from Katalon to a CI/CD tool like Jenkins can be a pain and the customer support is not great. You will rely on forums online a lot to sort out the issues you encounter while using the tool. Also, tests are always failing in the headless browser and there isn't enough information to investigate what the problem is. Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Katalon Studio has more features. It is a very powerful test automation tool and it's useful for testers with varying levels of technical know-how. If you're a tester with no programming knowledge, use the record and play feature. If you have some programming knowledge, you can switch to script and do a whole lot more with your tests. It's also a good tool to develop your technical skills as a tester. Also, it has a lot of information online that can help you when you encounter problems that you don't know how to fix. Review Source MS Monica S. QA Analyst Fine Art Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Katalon Studio, great tool to get introduced to Testing Automation, as well experienced users" August 14, 2019 5.0 We had very little test automation in place, and actually was using as an intern till the "purchased" product was up to speed. It surpassed my expectations the more I used it. Very reliable, easy to maintain and update. Was able to build out a decent library of smaller reusable modules, that have greatly decreased the time it takes to create new testcases. It took the frustration out of tool itself, making it enjoyable to work in. Pros Very fast to get up and running. Fits a variety level of users, flexible enough to allow advanced users to pretty much setup how they please at the same time enough of all the base needs for the new user. With it being free product, they update it regularly and are very attentive to user requests. Their application is actually fun to use. The setup and options are intuitive. Not hard to figure out how to do and implement even more complex, complicated operations with custom code. Very portable. The install being as isolated from the code, can easily install on another machine, and open project and be running tests, no special build, or install requirements to do this as I've seen in other tools. Cons Not a fan of the Object Repository handling, doesn't do well of detecting dupes, can get quick messy if user of the object spy. The code repository integration is basic, the interface to it not very robust. Its scripting language is Groovy, which is not as popular as others. Reason for choosing Katalon Studio At the time we were reviewing products, Katalon was only on version 3, which lacked a lot of the features we were looking for and its reliability was as good as it is now in the later versions, 5 and up. There was also the concern of being free, how long would it exist, or be supported, and also Groovy being the only language it supported was a concern, since none of our in house development had experience working with Groovy.

October 20, 2021 5.0 Overall this is the best Automation Tool I have ever used in last 20 years. Pros I can use my Selenium and Java experiences. Learning is very easy. You can do anything you need for automation including GUI, API, Mobile in one tool. Very productive for Automation. Cons Having difficulties to integrate with AWS Device Farm Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Productive, less expensive, Easy to use, Groovy and over al structure, TestOps features Review Source VR Verified Reviewer QA Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My experience-based review on Katalon Studio" December 17, 2021 5.0 I highly recommend it. So far, this is my favorite automation tool and it boosts my productivity in doing regression tests. Pros Katalon is a free tool that can be used in automation. Although it is free, its features are very useful and essential and this is very easy to learn and explore as well. It is also compatible with web testing and API testing which I frequently use. Cons Definitely none for me. Katalon provides good help for a software tester that is looking for an easy-to-learn automation tool. Review Source Jeremiah S. Director of Technology Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent testing product" August 5, 2021 4.0 We have used Katalon for two use cases. Initially it was primarily used for automated monitoring of multiple Single Sign On solutions - allowing us to setup a batch run that hourly would sign in to our various client sites and insure successful sign in and log out through the sites. We have also used for automated testing of API development. Pros Katalon Studio is an affordable solution that allows for many complex testing needs to be met and integrated within the QA pipeline. We used Katalon as a testing agent for our API developments and ongoing monitoring for Single Sign On solutions. Setup was quick and easy with more in depth functionality as we saw fit available to fine tune our testing and monitoring. Cons There was a small learning curve in the language used to develop the scripts but nothing major. The biggest hit came when they moved from allowing us to call Katalon via a batch script for free and making you pay for individual engines to run to allow for our monitoring.

Pros The tool is suitable to all people who will know and don't know the code, framework, error handle, data driven and deployment. Cons 1\. I have faced some issue on sometime, like not able to call the method from keyword to test case. 2. Request to Katalon team to provide more reference. Review Source MI Maximo I. QA lead engineer Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excelente herramienta para automatización de pruebas" March 9, 2022 4.0 La implementación y curva de uso fue sumamente sencilla y los logs son más detallados y de fácil lectura que en otras herramientas como Postman Pros Katalon permite automatizar tanto pruebas de frontend como de servicios REST y SOAP, la automatización de servicios es muy sencilla mediante el uso de objetos de prueba y scripts de ejecución en lenguaje Groovy (una implementación de Java) con lógica extensa tanto para las llamadas a los servicios como con sus verificaciones. La automatización de frontend implementa selenium y ocasionalmente tiene algunos inconvenientes por el acceso a los elementos mediante locators, especialmente en sitios que usan componentes dinámicos sin identificación clara de que es cada componente. Cons Que la versión gratuita no permite importar definiciones de swagger/open API 2.1, este solo se encuentra en la versión paga. Alternatives considered [Postman](https://www.capterra.com/p/188497/Postman/) Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Es mucho más sencillo de usar por personas con poco o nulo conocimiento de programación Switched from [Postman](https://www.capterra.com/p/188497/Postman/) Porque el uso de Katalon es más simple y facilita el armado de llamadas a los servicios y de las verificaciones Review Source PF Paul F. Automation QA Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This is an awesome automation testing tool" April 18, 2019 5.0 \- I use it for the system testing, and it suit for all my needs like how I build my own testing framework in eclipse. I started using it since 2018 Jan and I can see the software keep improving the feature and functionality. As my company need to use Jenkins for the build test and this tool fit for my requirement otherwise if I build my own framework will take me longer time only can start the automation testing. Pros \- The record& playback feature help those QA who doesn't have programming language also can do automation testing. - The object ID changed, immediately all the test cases using the object will get refresh - Object capture can let QA to decide how to navigate to the web element, can have multiple selection by ID,Name,Text,Xpath and so on. If we develop by using eclipse only can have 1 locator at the same time. - Better feature than HP QTP and it's FREE. -Test data can have multiple option like csv,text,excel -Nicer report for all the test suite executed -Allow to import third party library and use it to write the customkeyword in JAVA. -Attached the custom profile use in test suite collection for different testing purposes. Cons \- A lot of issue found when executed the test in command prompt, because I use Jenkins to trigger the test - The browser driver not the latest in the market - Firefox browser not support the latest in the market. - Although I didn't pay for the support but I hope Katalon team can support /fix the stopper issue raised in the forum within short period.

Sr. Software QA Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Katalon Studio - The one stop solution to software testing " August 14, 2019 5.0 Now all my test scripts are built with this tool. I don't have to solely rely on Postman to test backend APIs or just Selenium Webdriver to test frontend web applications or Appium to automate mobile applications. I do prepare all my automation test scripts now using Katalon Studio. Pros The tool can be used to test the following: 1) API 2) Web Applications 3) Mobile applications Requires minimal programming knowledge to leverage the tool for application testing. Easily integrated with 3rd party applications like Slack. Ready, Handy and FREE plugins available to make testing more effective. Test scripts are interchangeable with Selenium Webdriver. Cons Since this tool is somewhat new in the market compared to Selenium Webdriver, hence, its at times difficult to find solutions if a user is stuck in a problem. However, the KS developers tries their level best to find the suitable solution for you as early as possible. Review Source SB Sampath B.

June 7, 2022 5.0 I am very happy for UI and API automation testing. UI supports with all browsers option is good. Pros I liked Record and Playback feature. Sauce labs, chrome and Firefox execution. API execution is also very good and easy to implement for functional Testers. Predefined Git options are very good. Cons Debug feature is complicated. Identify elements for desktop applications feature is not good using UISpy. Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Earlier used Visual studio NUnit framework, but Katalon performance is good and user friendly tool. Review Source AT Akshay T. System Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall User Experience Is Good And Easy To Use, But Requires Added Functionalities" August 14, 2019 5.0 We solved the business problem wherein the values appearing on screen in our scorecard where mismatched with the downloaded excel. We automated the checking of values in downloaded excel sheets with the values show on screen with Katalon Studio. Pros Was able to automate most of the manual testing work using Katalon studio. Thus saving time and efforts and putting those to use in more productive work. The experience was great working on Katalon studio. The frequent updates of the software, the added enhancements every now and then are perfect. Quicker responses is what one can expect. Coming to the tool, its a great tool to work with. To sum up its a great tool which we can employ without any cost to pay for. Cons It crashed many times without saving the changes I did. Katalon community can be improved. I strongly felt that it should have a revamped User Experience, in terms of color schemes, ease of use and more shortcut keys to be included. Coming to the technical functionalities in the tool, sometimes while after including certain files from a particular folder, it doesn't appear there directly. We have to refresh the tool. It would be great if the tool had some auto-refresh feature. Sometimes while saving an Object Repository file, even if I save file, I am not able to save file and the changes are lost. I feel that improvements can be made on architecture level to sort out all these issues. The tool should be asset light, means should be able to work on minimum computing requirements. Reason for choosing Katalon Studio It was free of cost to use. Review Source MG Mike G. QA Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good product and great alternative" August 14, 2019 5.0 Overall the tool has many good functions and capabilities. Pros, outweigh cons in a major way. Pricing structure and support is excellent. Pros Somewhat easy to get started (see cons), Git integration, beginner and expert modes. Ability to export and continue with other IDEs if desired to go outside of the tool (not locked in to it forever). Plenty of information on the web to troubleshoot and ask questions (unlike our previous tool). May frequent updates and feature releases. Cons A little cumbersome to setup all the needed plugins. Until everything is configured just right, you will run in to errors here and there that take time to troubleshoot. Test case navigation/folder structure could use a few more options and customization capabilities to be able to sort things better. Automatic centralized location for code and test case storage (similar to ALM) would be great. Having to commit and pull code each time from different stations is cumbersome. To schedule remote execution you must make sure the machine pulled latest code which is an issue if execution and development PCs are different. Review Source HT Hari T. Test Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "True the best test automation tool in today testing market" August 14, 2019 5.0 Pros It is FREE to use. earlier days testers used to develop frameworks using program language like Java, C sharp and etc. This use to take a huge effort and there was no standard in developing frameworks. because of inconsistency in the framework, the main focus of testers uses to go to maintain the framework rather use it productively. Katalon is completed filled the gap in the test automation world. And also, given much more powerful features accelerate test automation development and its usage. The simplicity of the tool. easy to learning. Productivity. knowledge base. It can integrate all CI and CD tools in the market. Cons Integration with Zephyr test management on Jira is missing. This is very much required as per Katalon test users. But not sure whey team have not come up with solutions for this. I hope they come up ASAP. Review Source Emilio H. Product Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A must have tool for any product management team" April 22, 2019 4.0 We have not yet integrated Katalon into our build processes but it has become an obligated step in each testing iteration. No version goes productive without first going through Katalon. This has definitely improved our general quality, and also our QA team now spends more time creating katalon cases than actually hand testing, which is more efficient overall. I would definitely recommend it, but I might add that you might want to start by using Katalon recorder first, before growing into the studio. Pros The best about Katalon is that test cases can be created easily using the visual interface (katalon recorder), but can later be made more powerful using the scripting tools. It's also great to be able to export them and reimport them easily, allowing our team to collaborate adding new test cases with each passing version. We haven't yet integrated katalon with Jenkins, but knowing that its possible is great for us. Cons It took a bit of learning at first, since we used other tools before, but once that was done it's relatively easy to use. The community of users is not that large, but its apparently greowing since users from selenyum are mostly migrating to katalon. We've had some performance issues with it, and some cross browser differences, however, this didn't happen often. Review Source Dhicy R.

Katalon Studio is allowing our manual testers to contribute to the automation effort, while allowing automation testers to utilise their Java and Webdriver skills. Pros Recorder and Playback for beginners, Keyword Driven for intermediates, or Java/Selenium Webdriver for advanced usage. Direct Integration with Git, Jira, Browserstack, Docker, Kobiton, Jenkins, and a console mode allowing Integration with Azure Build pipelines, or anything supporting command line execution. Supports Page Object Model, full Java , Groovy, and Selenium Webdriver syntax directly Based on Eclipse IDE which some will find familiar. Cucumber support for BDD /ATDD Extendable with external with java package imports API testing facility rivalling Postman built in Fully documented features Developers listen to the community Cons Growing community, but still in its infancy Analytics tool but still in Beta Support for many integrations, but requires a lot of research to get these working properly Lack of support for .NET languages (although hardly a compromise) Review Source TT Toby T. QA/Dev Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "plug n play automation software with many built in keywords" August 14, 2019 4.0 We adopted the tool after I highly spoke of it to higher management as they trust me as our main testing tool on the current project I'm working on. Had a very small learning curve and create custom keywords and scripts to be reused and acting as lego blocks in many tests. Cucumber is documenting all our scenarios. Pros It allow to somebody with no or little coding knowledge to get started in test automation with its intuituous interface and built in keywords. Also, with all the integration with various platforms and technologies make it a very easy to integrate tool in the day to day work environment. Cons Some glitches still exist in some fields such as soap api calls where not all endpoints are loaded correctly and some improvemetns could be done in order to completely replace soap ui usage in my case. Also the cucumber integration doesn't seem to have all the solution's benefits working correctly such as tags and others that could be added. Finally the Database that is internal could allow to clone, copy, delete or manipulate data easily even the search is not there to make a query for instance. Reason for choosing Katalon Studio It was free and integrated all the things we needed. It is very simple to use with a minimal learning curve. Review Source Harpreet S.

Need to have an automation tool for people who are less tech savvy Spend less time on building framework ourselves Pros 1\. It's free 2. Very easy to use 3. Lots of built in features 4. Easy to integrate with other tools 5. Low learning curve Cons 1\. No Support at all, you have to buy a package even if you need a small question answered. 2. Would have liked if the inbuilt keywords were customization. Need to have more features which allow to build more features like recovery scenarios etc. 3. Managing the project on git is difficult.

" July 26, 2021 5.0 Mainly Katalon helped us create Test Automation Scripts for Legacy Projects in a very high speed which is one of the best aspects about it especially because it doesn't require any programming knowledge. Pros I liked how intuitive and easy is the tool in helping the Quality Team to record and play their Test Automation Scripts without having programming knowledge. Also the tool provides many other features including Web Applications Testing, API Testing, Mobile Testing, Desktop Applications Testing, etc. Cons The tool can be a little expensive. Also, since the tool is relatively new to the market compared to some other tools, this makes troubleshooting an issue a bit difficult as you won't find large support community.

It is more user friendly. Pros We are using Katalon Studio for UI automation. Some of the Pros about this software are 1. Free licensing and hence no cost to the company 2. Ability to integrate Katalon studio with the the latest automation tools such as Appium, Selenium and Win AppDriver 3. Ability to record the UI objects using Katalon UI Recorder 4.Ease of use for Manual testers, since recording option is available 5. Support for Groovy and Java languages. 6. Katalon test cloud to host mobile automation test cases. Cons The biggest disadvantage with Katalon is the ability to debug the code at run time. When a code gives an error, the compiler moves to the next line without letting us know what the real error is. Also support for external data source is very limited like connecting to excel or SQL.
