"The solution helps to accelerate software testing automation. It will help to reduce lead time and increase productivity and efficiency."

"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."

"Integration with other tools can become a costly exercise."
"Easier connectivity and integration with SAP would be helpful."
"It would be improved by adding a drag-and-drop interface to help alleviate the coding."
"The parallel execution of the tests needs improvement. When we are running tests in LeanFT, there are some limitations in terms of running the same tests simultaneously across different browsers. If I'm running a test, let's say to log in, I should be able to execute it through IE, through Microsoft Edge, through Chrome, through Mozilla, etc. This capability doesn't exist in LeanFT. Parallel execution of the test cases across different browsers need to be added."
