Quality Automation Specialist at SymphonyAI
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"For a free solution, it's very good."
"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."
"Katalon Studio has positively impacted our organization by facilitating faster delivery when clients have urgent requirements, allowing us to save both time and costs due to its features for rapid framework configuration, designing, and ease of use for new users."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"The report generated using Katalon Studio is extremely valuable."
"Katalon Studio has positively impacted my organization by helping the team reduce manual regression effort and improve release confidence by catching UI issues earlier."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"TestingWhiz is a low code, no code tool with integration facilities, such as with Jira, and can be used over the cloud."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the IDE can be a little stuck or may lag a little bit, and I have had issues capturing certain XPaths where the record and playback does not necessarily capture the accurate XPath."
"Katalon Studio is generally stable. I have faced major bugs occasionally, and it sometimes glitches due to heavy application performance, but this does not happen regularly."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"Improvements are needed, particularly regarding desktop application recording and playback, which should be more flexible and not limited to relying solely on .exe files installed on the system."
"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."
"Katalon Studio sometimes restarts during automation, and as mentioned earlier, the app experiences lag, so those are the main areas that need improvement."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"Some features need to be implemented based on customer customization requests, which are currently not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is more affordable than other vendors."
"Price-wise, Katalon Studio is a costly product. Considering what the solution provides its users with, I can say that price-wise, Katalon Studio is an okay product."
"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."
"In terms of pricing, Katalon, Selenium, and Cypress all represent a similar level of investment. The software for these tools are either true open source or almost open source (because they charge a small fee), so pricing is a neutral point for me."
"I am using the free version."
"Katalon Studio is less expensive than other solutions, such as Micro Focus UFT."
"The pricing is good. It is the market average."
"The price of Katalon Studio is reasonable. They recently had a price increase that might impact new subscribers. We are using a business license."
