Test Associate & Manager at IGT Solutions
A low-code and no-code tool for automation purposes that is very user-friendly
AutonomIQ TestIQ is only available on mobile devices and on the web. I wish to see AutonomIQ TestIQ in a different area, like game automation or game testing. There is no tool or support offered in the market for game testing. The automatic automation should help capture videos, logs, audio, and other steps with which the user plays that particular game if I want to automate any graphical game with the help of a low-code and no-code tool, like AutonomIQ TestIQ. The ability to capture and record with the help of automation is not there in AutonomIQ TestIQ. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement.

Fast UI automation has reduced regression effort and has improved tester onboarding
The best features Katalon Studio offers include how even a manual tester can use it with built-in keywords and recording features. A framework does not need to be built from scratch, unlike other tools. Katalon Studio provides an out-of-the-box automation framework, which allows quick starts, and its built-in keywords and record and playback functionality make it easier for manual testers transitioning to automation. Additionally, the object repository simplifies test creation and makes maintenance more manageable. The test suite and execution profiles also allow easy test organization for environment-specific execution, and the built-in reports provide ready-to-share insights with the team. If I had to select one standout feature, the framework setup stands out as the best feature, as it makes starting automation quickly and straightforwardly without heavy setup. Katalon Studio has positively impacted my organization by helping the team reduce manual regression effort and improve release confidence by catching UI issues earlier. It positively impacted the company by speeding up test execution and allowing faster feedback before releases, which reduces last-minute defects. The quick setup of the framework enabled the team to start automation faster, improving overall QA productivity without increasing team size. Additionally, automated regression tests maintained consistent test coverage and reduced the risk of repetitive manual reports, which overall helped Katalon Studio reduce manual regression effort, improve test consistency, and provide faster feedback to the team, enhancing release quality.

Pros

"UI is one of the best features of AutonomIQ TestIQ."
"Katalon Studio has the highest number of integrations compared to other tools at a similar price point, such as Jira, Brokerstack, and Jenkins."
"It has been good so far for API testing on Mac; it is not that hard to learn and use, and there is so much support out there that if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."
"This solution is good for us; it's easy to use and a good product."
"It is good with iOS and Android."
"My advice for those looking into using Katalon Studio is that, regardless of time or efficiency, it is seamless for any kind of automation project because Katalon Studio allows you to automate things with any kind of software you want to integrate and testing is comparatively easy compared to other tools or software available."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"Overall, I recommend it highly and find it easy to use with many integrations."
"Katalon is very easy to record and then we can use the identifiers very easily, as Katalon automatically gets you all the identifiers and is very user-friendly, with excellent object finding and very fast automation that does not require you to be overly proficient in coding."
 

Cons

"The ability to capture and record with the help of automation is not there in AutonomIQ TestIQ."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation as well."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."

"Katalon Studio is an expensive tool."
"The product is affordable. It has an average and competitive pricing compared to other vendors."
"The tool is affordable."

"The cost of Katalon Studio is expensive but it is less than some of the other solutions, such as Micro Focus UFT or SmartBear TestComplete. The cost is the main reason we are using Katalon Studio."
"The tool is free to use."
