Great tool with a rich set of functionalities. Suitable for smaller and larger teams also.

Pros

It covers all the platforms and most of the test types. You can manage more test environments by data file. Using TestOps it is easy to publish test results and integrate testing process into management process.

Cons

Programming skills are required. Desktop application testing is easier with other products. It supports just Groovy as scripting language.

Pros

Automation feature which makes to understand a user how to automate the scripts and also I like the chat option within the tool.

Cons

Menu options are not very user friendly on the left and right side of the tool. The Main menu options are good. I liked the older katalon version of 5 plus

### "Katalon Studio Review"

January 10, 2019

3.0

Would definitely recommend Katalon to teams working on projects that involves a lot of testing.

Pros

Katalon Studio is really helpful when it comes to writing unit tests. I used to write and run unit tests manually, but ever since I started using Katalon my efficiency has greatly improved. The whole unit test process is more streamlined and I can have it run automated tests according to my specifications.

Cons

While Katalon Studio is useful, the learning curve is pretty steep compared to other softwares. In order to get any benefit out of it, you would need to dedicate the time to learn how to use Katalon correctly. However, once you got the hang of using Katalon, it is definitly worth the time invested.

### "My Experience"

April 18, 2019

5.0

Swiftly able to design automation test cases across many environments with the easiest of user interfaces and easily the best tool in the market.

Pros

There is no framework that needs to be set and it follows the page object model which is the most sought after one,the most user friendly automation tool ever.

Cons

No cons to say the least but I had to pick one the option of manually loading the steps is one option which I would say is the least liked one as it could have been entirely scripting but having said that the manual process has also been very helpful for those who don't have coding knowledge.

### "Excellent UI Automation Tool "

April 22, 2019

5.0

As a QA analyst with intermediate experience level in automation this tool really helps when you are unable to build a testcase and can make use of the tool to record and export it to a script which can be directly used in your automation code thus killing two birds with one stone

Pros

1) Record and Play to Automate tests on the go 2) Export to/Import from other languages to build scripts for use in other environments quickly without effort which helps beginners to pick up automation easily 3) Supported on Windows/Mac and also available for use as plugin for chrome browser making it easy to use across multiple platforms

Cons

Support documentation for Linux does have some scope for improvement since I found it difficult to use it in a linux environment as compared to windows or mac

### "Katalon review"

August 14, 2019

3.0

overall experience with Katalon is OK.

Pros

it is free, it runs very well when there are no problems of objects\\functions identification, very easy to manage scripts, objects, keywords.

Cons

when running a script, fails it is very hard to understand the reason. I got stuck trying to run a mobile test and I still can't do it and I found no one\\nothing to help. syntax of code lines is hard to understand. when a browser is launched by Katalon I cannot continue to record on it. I can record on an opened browser only if I opened it manually. help is poor. I have tried to understand how to use characters from Ascii table. Could not find it anywhere.

Script creation time have reduce. Reporting is very clear and understandable . The best part is integration with gitlab which helped in implementing the CI process. Thanks a lot Katalon Studio

Cons

The API part is need more option as some of the parts is missing.

### "Its Usable"

March 27, 2019

3.0

Fair. It allows basic record and playback functions

Pros

\- Katalon helps to create test cases which can be reused to automate regression tests in an organisation. - You can generate a test report that shows points of failures during playback - You can create a test suite to replay recorded cases concurrently

Cons

\- Katalon cannot recognize some drop down functions on some applications - It is unable to identify some elements on some applications eg: The elements on a calendar function - Katalon is unable to playback some elements identified by katalon itself.

Ready made Framework with page object repository available by default for a new project. 8. Multi Browser support 9. Higher degree of re-usability of all artifacts 10. Most important feature is IDE to record and convert your test scenarios into TC's
