Keerthi Prasannakumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved test efficiency and automated repeated sanity checks using reusable components
The best features Katalon Studio offers include its user-friendly nature. It is very much a user-friendly automation framework that supports both beginners and advanced users. It combines manual and script-based testing, allowing easy recording of steps and customization using Java or Groovy. Its built-in reporting, data-driven testing, and CI/CD integration are extremely useful for managing end-to-end automation efficiently. The best feature of Katalon Studio is its ease of setup with both manual and scripted automation, plus strong integration techniques, which help the tester find reports easily. It is more focused on debugging, reusability, and reporting. The reporting and debugging features of Katalon Studio help me in my testing workflow by providing test execution reports with logs, screenshots, and videos for failed steps, which makes it easier to analyze results. The report can be in formats such as HTML, PDF, or integrated into Katalon TestOps for tracking trends over time. For debugging, I use the debug mode to run test cases step-by-step, check every value, and inspect the console and log viewer for error messages. Katalon Studio highlights the exact failed step, provides stack traces, and helps quickly identify issues in locator data or synchronization. For example, in one of my projects, I automated a video upload and a preview feature in a web application. During execution, the test failed at the preview validation step. The Katalon Studio report showed that the preview element was not visible within expected time. I switched to debug mode, added a wait condition, and re-ran the test step-by-step to verify that the video preview loaded correctly before validation. After updating the script with an explicit wait, the test passed consistently, confirming all steps were successful and improving the reliability of future regression runs. Katalon Studio's report and debug mode help identify whether it's a timing issue or if we need an explicit wait. A key feature I notice in Katalon Studio is its cross-platform automation, supporting web, mobile, API, and desktop testing in one tool. The record and playback feature is my favorite because I'm not from a coding background. It allows for quick test creation without coding, making it accessible even for beginners. The repository and data-driven testing provide centralized storage for test elements, improving reusability. We can run the same test with multiple sets of data, which is also significant. The integration part is excellent, along with reusable test suites and keywords, which allow modular and maintainable test structures across projects. Katalon Studio has positively impacted my organization by significantly speeding up the testing process. The repetitive regression tests that used to take hours or days are now completed in a day or just two to three hours. The built-in reports and debugging features improved communication with developers and made issue resolution faster. With Katalon Studio providing detailed reports, false arguments have gradually reduced. Overall, test coverage, accuracy, and team productivity have enhanced, allowing for a more confident delivery of builds and shorter turnaround times. I think the company has a positive impact overall.

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.
