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.

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

"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."
"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 product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"I find Katalon Studio to be a very complete product."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"Katalon Studio is easier to use compared to SmartBear TestComplete."
"Katalon Studio is easy to install and to learn for other technical people who work in quality assurance and don't work in developing software for a long time."
"We can now take test automation through the entire business process -- testing web service availability before automated test packs start, sending and retrieving data via web-services and control of all web service testing in a single tool, along with the GUI testing of business processes across a multitude of platforms from java web through to AS400 green screen terminal apps."
"The solution is quite stable with SAP. It's nice. I use it extensively."
"This solution is very helpful to me, and I use it to execute my use cases without a manual interface."
"The BPT framework is very modular."
"ROI is pretty good as the approach of framework allows virtually everyone to take part in designing test cases."
"The big difference with BPT over conventional frameworks with which I have worked is that BPT allows me to separate test development from automation development."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that even a nontechnical tester, like a functional tester or a business analyst, can use it once the components are ready."
"Because everyone can create test cases, not only the quantity but also the quality is improved, which results in less defects in production."
 

Cons

"I would like if this tool can work without any problems for React Native."
"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."
"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."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"There could be many improvements, however, I have not noted them down at this moment."
"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."
"Test execution speed has been my biggest concern."
"Technical support lacks efficiency and all they do is to move in circles by opening new tickets and all the related stuffs without any intention of solving the real problem."
"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."
"Initial releases we used of the product (v12) were a little unstable, but with the release of v12.01, we had no further issues."
"To be honest, technical support is not that great."
"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 only one I can really think of is speed to test execution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good. It is the market average."
"The tool's pricing is cheap compared to other alternatives. I would rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The solution is more affordable than other vendors."
"Katalon Studio is less expensive than other solutions, such as Micro Focus UFT."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"Katalon Studio is an expensive tool."
"I am using the free version."
