Expansive integrations boost automation potential across devices

Helpful solution that enables us to execute our use cases
There's only one thing that I think needs improvement. When I started off using this solution, I used the Google search engine to learn how to use the tool. I would also check with my colleagues who have a lot of knowledge about it. Selenium has fields of information available. If you click on that field there will be an explanation about how to use the tool. It will be a lot easier to understand if Micro Focus included this feature. It is easy to find with the search button, but it would be a great help to the users who are new to this tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"It is good with iOS and Android."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"Whenever I speak to the support team of Katalon Studio, I learn that some new features will be included in the product. It is a scalable product."
"The solution is quite stable with SAP. It's nice. I use it extensively."
"This solution is very helpful to me. I use it to execute my use cases without a manual interface."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"It should be faster while executing, and there are some defects, like choosing the new device with the test case."
"The pricing could be improved. Offering a discount on Katalon Studio licenses could encourage more users."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"There's only one thing that I think needs improvement. When I started off using this solution, I used the Google search engine to learn how to use the tool. I would also check with my colleagues who have a lot of knowledge about it. Selenium has fields of information available. If you click on that field there will be an explanation about how to use the tool. It will be very easier to understand it if Micro Focus included this feature. It is easy to find with the search button, but it would be a great help to the users who are new to this tool."
"The solution shouldn't be so tightly integrated with the ALM tool that they have. It should have its own base rather than the repository."
