Recording limitations and remote access challenges have affected desktop application testing
Katalon Studio has proven effective in our deliverables, particularly in designing the framework where other tools typically require coding in client libraries such as Python or Java. With Katalon Studio, there is no such complexity, allowing us to organize projects modularly based on folder structures without needing to write separate code. The self-healing feature for web application automation and its built-in CI/CD ecosystem integration eliminates the need for external tools for pipeline setup. Katalon Studio excels in CI/CD integration, providing an inbuilt ecosystem without the need for external setup, and it features a postings structure along with keyword and library availability. Newcomers to the team can easily adapt to the setup or project structure, which contributes to its popularity, along with its low-code or no-code capability that allows for a comprehensive platform supporting web, mobile, API, and desktop automation. The self-healing mechanism for test cases autonomously identifies issues with locators and ensures they continue functioning, which is impressive, along with the robust object repository. Katalon Studio has significantly aided our team, especially when clients expect deliveries for CI/CD integration that requires automation test scripts to run on a daily schedule. The self-healing feature automatically identifies available locators for elements in the DOM, ensuring that test cases remain functional. Katalon Studio has positively impacted our organization by facilitating faster delivery when clients have urgent requirements. We can deliver quickly based on urgency due to the features Katalon Studio provides. This has led to significant reductions in time spent on framework configuration, designing, and training individuals who are unfamiliar with the tool, helping us save both time and costs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"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."
"If a company is looking to buy a user-friendly software testing tool while having to pay less money, Katalon may be the best option as compared to UFT or TestComplete."
"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."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model, as it makes creating more test cases easy."
"Katalon Studio has positively impacted my organization by significantly speeding up the testing process, improving communication with developers, and enhancing test coverage, accuracy, and team productivity for more confident delivery of builds and shorter turnaround times."
"The functionality of the data is very good. You can upload and disperse data using the solution."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"There could be many improvements, however, I have not noted them down at this moment."
"I think the one thing that is more problematic for the product is the online documentation. It could be more centralized and better or just easier to find."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"One area for improvement in Katalon Studio is execution speed. Larger test suites can take more time to execute."
"I would like if this tool can work without any problems for React Native."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"Currently, I'm the only one who can use it because I have a Mac. It is giving a hard time to my team members who are on Linux. My team members are using Linux, and Katalon doesn't support Linux very well. It keeps on crashing. It crashes and shuts down almost every time they save their work, so they are not able to use it. It should have good support for Linux. We don't know what the problem is. If the Katalon team can pick up this issue, it will be very helpful."
"I can say that in my company, we struggle a lot with iOS automation."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The approximate cost is around $8,000."
"The product’s pricing is very, very low."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"The product is affordable. It has an average and competitive pricing compared to other vendors."
"The price of Katalon Studio is reasonable. They recently had a price increase that might impact new subscribers. We are using a business license."
"The price is not high it's good."
"The product is expensive."
"Its pricing is quite reasonable. If you require their help in getting started, then there is a professional services fee on top of the product license cost."
