Don't wait, and start using KATALON

Katalon Studio was the selected contestant to resolve our automation challenges. Without Katalon, we couldn’t achieve our target to create automated test scripts in one year. Katalon Studio reduced 60% of time creating automated test scripts and we can analyze the result on the cloud with Katalon Analytics.They offers Manual Mode and Script Mode for both beginner and advanced testers. We think this is an awesome feature for manual testers to learn automation and senior testers to improve automation testing skills. We were able to create our custom code infrastructure as micro-services by using Katalon Studio.?

This is one of the best tools I've ever used. It provides amazing features like Analytic, Record and Playback which are really cool. This tool supports both web app and mobile app. You can get the support everywhere ( forum, community, support team,...). Besides, it has both manual and script mode. But there is something that needs improvement: You have to redownload and install it to update the tool and the package size is quite big.

I am using Katalon Studio for my test. It contains amazing features, in comparison with the other existing tools in the market. It offers users a friendly UI with the manual mode, plus the support team is really helpful. Personally, i think it is really great.

I am using Katalon in my everyday test routines to create and run non-regression tests against several websites on desktop and mobile and it works like a charm!

The major features of the product are :

• the object repository
• the data-driven tests
• the possibility to run the tests on remote servers (BrowserStack, CrossBrowserTesting, SauceLab, you-own-grid, etc)
• the possibility to parallelize the tests' execution
• the simple UI

AND the support team is reactive and competent, and it sometimes makes the difference.

**What it lacks of, in my opinion : **

• a scheduler
• a tool to design tests
• a visual recognition engine to get closer of human behavior.
• a better UI : it takes lot of clicks to do certain things and the UI sometimes act weirdly. A quick UX study would be a good way to find the pain-points.

I definitely recommend this (still young) tool that is already competing with HP and SmartBear, and can only get better.

As someone who have tried both automation frameworks like Selenium and automation tools like QTP, I'm very much impressed with what Katalon Studio brings to the table.

Katalon Studio provides a very well-structured test artifacts ( including test cases, suites, objects, data) like QTP, while also allow me to coding using those artifacts like every self-made frameworks using Selenium. It also enhance the test artifacts managing process by many utilities like the object spy, which I can use to capture all the elements from my website very quickly.

Katalon Studio also run very fast and provide the ability to execute parallel out of the box, which is very nice. I haven't tried to run automation test on mobile devices, but I'm definitely going to try that feature soon.
