Senior Automation Engineer at Stryker
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.

An easy-to-use tool that saves time and functions within a limited budget
The solution's reporting system should be clearer and easier to understand for a layperson. I and some other experts may be able to understand the solution's reporting system, but a layperson won't understand it. For a layperson, the solution should be easy to use. Price-wise, TestProject is an expensive product. The product's current price should be lowered to attract potential customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price; it's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"The tool is easy to use. The product gives me the flexibility to use Selenium. I can also use my Java capabilities in the solution."
"Katalon Studio is easier to use compared to SmartBear TestComplete."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"The report generated using Katalon Studio is extremely valuable."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The script-less part of it was good for novice users."
"The ease of web and mobile functional testing is pretty easy on TestProject."
"The product has a very good record-and-play functionality."
"Ability to carry out automatic testing without having coding knowledge."

"Since implementing this solution, our code management has been reduced by 40% to 60%."
"One of the valuable features the solution offers is the chance to be able to perform automatic tests by recording, and to create them without having coding knowledge."
 

Cons

"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."

"I believe it would be a great feature if they could integrate JMETER and other performance testing tools so that Katalon would become an all-in-one test automation tool"

"A company would not be able to scale with just this solution."
"We'd like to see a direct cloud from TestProject instead of some other third party."
"TestProject needs better support for integration with other products to provide a better overall solution for test planning and test data management."

"The support is a weak point since they discontinued the tool."
