Pretty easy to install and configure so junior team can easily install and create automation for your service (web,api, and mobile). Basically if you are newby once you try this tools your manager or other peers can see you like a pro. Pros \- Easy to use because it has feature record and play so no need coding skill to use their feature - Good user interface - No need to worry about web driver like other automation tools - Katalon has feature to support Web , Mobile, API automation testing - It has feature to support Continuous Integration testing tools - It has ability to handle cross browser testing Cons \- Its use pretty big memory so some times its impact to performance issue (like crash or slow) when run many scenario - only Katalon 7+ version licensed owner, that able to use debugging feature - its limited to Java and Groovy Alternatives considered [CucumberStudio](https://www.capterra.com/p/230858/HIPTEST/)[Selenium IDE](https://www.capterra.com/p/234796/Selenium-IDE/) Reason for choosing Katalon Studio because its increase our productivity because our learning curve time is lower and with only 1 tool we can automate many platform.

Software Engineer Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good tool for API Automation but not so good for mobile UI" August 14, 2019 3.0 API Automation - It is good UI Automation - Not good Pros Well organized and easy to use. For APIs its straight forward Cons Mobile UI automation is quite tough to setup. Android automation, once we make a script using the a particular mobile using the recorder, we were not able to use it on another model phone. When recording, the ids which the Katalon Studio is creating were changing for the next phone and hence it is not recognizing the on other phones. On the Iphone UI automation, most of the Iphones are not getting recognized. We spent 2 months on doing research and it is pretty inconsistent. Finally we moved just to Appium and manually create the scripts which is the reliable solution from years. Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Open source and appeared easy at the beginning but later for UI Automation it is the toughest to set it up Switched from [Appium](https://www.capterra.com/p/185602/Appium/) Mobile UI automation is quite tough to setup.

QA Engineer Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Front end web testing, with ease" October 8, 2019 4.0 We have to deploy software to numerous systems, numerous times per month. Katalon offers the flexibility to run some basic sanity checks to ensure our deployments were successful, without a ton of manual testing hours to verfiy. Pros Learning curve is relatively quick and easy to get going with your first few basic tests. There is also a lot of documentation out there if you get stuck on something. Cons The design is horrible. It feels like interacting with an app built in the early 2000s. BUT, it works well. Alternatives considered [Cypress](https://www.capterra.com/p/168276/Cypress/) Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Katalon offers a comprehensive web testing solution with CI/CD components. It supports Web, Android, and iOS applications. Native plugins integrate with Jenkins, Git, JIRA, and qTest. All of these were on my list of requirements when selecting a solution, and Katalon checked them all! Switched from [Cypress](https://www.capterra.com/p/168276/Cypress/) I had a handful of scripts I was using with Cypress and then a 3rd party vendor we integrate with did a random version bump and it rendered all my tests useless. There was no way around it. Katalon Studio is able to get past the problem that Cypress could not. Review Source kB keith B. QA Automations Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Makes life easy" August 14, 2019 4.0 We have managed to fill in the gaps that Postman has left wide open in being able to share reports with teammates, using BDD/Cucumber in API testing, and being able to integrate with Jira. To be able to produce anything similar with postman would require tons of custom Node.js which would be difficult to use for our less technical team members. Pros What I like about this software is the fact that I can perform API, Web UI, and Mobile Applications testing all in one suite. I like the fact that the software is based on Eclipse, Java, and Selenium, and comes with all the drivers ready to go. It makes life easier for me who have to deal with a lot of the more technical components, but allows others on our team, who aren't as technical, drag and drop my scripts using the UI provided. I like the fact that the software encourages the Page Object Model and also makes Cucumber much easier. Cons You guys are making improvements on your reporting tool, but it used to be a major headache. Other than that, no major headaches. Alternatives considered [Postman](https://www.capterra.com/p/188497/Postman/) Reason for choosing Katalon Studio The ability to bundle API automations and UI automations in one suite. Allows technical team members to write Automations in Selenium and JUnit assertions while allowing non technical team members to drag and drop scripts to make automations. Switched from [Postman](https://www.capterra.com/p/188497/Postman/) Ease of producing reports, ease of organizing API endpoints, and reusability, JIRA integration, ease of use for less technical team members. Review Source RR Rene R. Automation Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good option for automation" August 14, 2019 4.0 Despite I've had to deal with many issues using Katalon Studio, I think it is a great tool with a lot of potentials that need to mature. That's why I bet for Katalon Studio instead of other tools like ReadyAPI. Pros 1- that you can use cucumber scripts along with groovy for automating test cases 2- Katalon Analytics is great Cons 1- you can not open more than one project at a time 2- it's very heavy, it consumes a lot of resources. I think it could be improved in terms of RAM and CPU management. 3- katalon analytics needs more improvement, there are some issues in the UI. 4- the logging motor can be better, right now is very unusual if you run multiple test suites at a time with suite collection and try to watch the logs for each and every test suite, you get lost and it's hard to know even when it finished executing. 5- The Katalon Studio UI (at least mac version) it's complicated to use when you create a Request, it's hard to define the variables and params since the components used are very archaic, some time you think you save (according to the common behavior in most of the tool) but you actually dont and lost all changes. That can be improved. 6- The way Katalon manage the project files etc. it's very complicated to deal with those non-sense files (for end user) and the repos, it generates a lot of conflicts everytime.

Pros Self healing is just great, Katalon testops is really good it has everything a I need all in one platform. Cons The possibility of analyzing a report should not be KSE's thing. Alternatives considered [Selenium IDE](https://www.capterra.com/p/234796/Selenium-IDE/) Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Ease of use, ease of maintenance, functionalities (self healing,test Ops...)

February 3, 2022 5.0 In the past 2 years experiencing Katalon Studio, Our test cases based on web application were easily managed, automated and matained by the team, even without technical skills required. Pros It is easy to use and easy to install. Alao easy to manage when implementing cicd to your project or team. Cons It requires you to log online before using it offline Alternatives considered [Ranorex Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/173144/Ranorex-Studio/) Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Since Katalon Studio is java/groovy based, and I'm very knowledgeable to those programming languages. I am eager to use it more rather than starting and configuring automation from scratch which can burn a lot of time and effort to the team Review Source IF Ian F. Automation Specialist Gambling & Casinos Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Katalon Studio" August 14, 2019 4.0 I was new to my company and I was on a new project. The tool selected by someone else wasn't going to be a fit (Cypress) we need a tool that could do proper E2E testing not a Unit test tool like Cypress. Katalon allowed me to catch up and to get the automation back on track quickly. I found it very easy to use as it was much like the commercial tools I have used for the last 18 years Pros Ease of Use Similar to the commercial tools I have used Lots of options to create custom code Cons Object Recognition is a bit clumsy. It needs a spy that will give relative XPath for objects. Currently it gives a full Xpath which is unreliable. Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Price. I would have needed to work through a procurement process and all for a tool that didn't offer much more benefit over Katalon Switched from [Cypress](https://www.capterra.com/p/168276/Cypress/) Cypress is a Unit test tool. We needed a proper E2E automation solution Review Source SM Shahira M. QA lead Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My day is incomplete if i have not used Katalon" August 18, 2019 4.0 There was a time when i was in a big black-hole wondering which tool would come to my aid as my job was to test various modules in the context of business intelligence. I spent time trying different tools but my search was worth it when i discovered that Katalon studio tool has most of the features that I can start using without having to learn too many technical concepts or go through tedious steps of installations.Now i recommend it to all my colleagues every time they complain about some things that are not working in our home born tools. Pros User friendly UI, support team's response and openness to suggestions, one tool for multiple tasks Cons It could be more dynamic in terms of recommending error / corrections Switched from [IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.capterra.com/p/136010/IntelliJ-IDEA/) ease in building and executing scripts using different languages / technologies Review Source EA EMİNE A. software test engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful, Time Saver, Easy to Use, Good UI and the BEST In the Industry of Automation" April 18, 2019 5.0 I have been using it for 2 years. It is great to test both my web and mobile projects in the same environment and support with powerful reports. Otherwise, sending the test results to your email address after the test is completed is amazing in reaching each test step on Katalon Analysis Beta. With the Recoder feature, recording and executing the tests provides great convenience especially for regression tests. The interface is very useful. The program is constantly alive and in development. New versions and improvements are available. Automating mobile testing is easy with the Katalon. In addition to the ready-made keywords in your structure, you can define custom keywords and improve your test capacity. I don't think you can find a tool that's free and with these features, it's a great Katalon! Pros With advanced technology, high-quality applications are now inevitable. Manual testing of applications also slows down this rapid process. Considering the different factors such as slowness as well as multi-platform support, cross-browser, responsive design and more, an application's manual test may leave you with unexpected complications and extra efforts. So what do we do then? Remedy Automation Tests: Although the automation test may seem to take more time at the beginning, it has proved to be a more effective approach in the long term in terms of both time and resources since the time of the automation solution. In projects that require intensive regression testing, their utility greatly increases. The ability to re-use the established test scenarios by other teammates is also a big plus. Katalon Studio is a program that you can use to test your Web and Mobile applications. Java-based program can use all the features in a free way. You can start using the program without having any technical knowledge. You can create test cases quickly thanks to the keywords in the program. One thing I would like to mention is the Cross Platform feature. The script you write is a program that allows you to test Cross Platform (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internel, etc.) without writing additional code. I recommend you to use.The interface is useful, but it has a lot of integration with many systems such as JIRA, GIT, KATALON ANALYSIS BETA. Has a very strong reporting structure. Cons I don't think it is very useful for web service and API testing. There may be more browser support. Sometimes you feel helpless when you get stuck somewhere when you get an error as community help is not that strong. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software QA Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Automated Software Testing Tool for non technical software testers" June 23, 2020 4.0 We needed a tool that will help us write regression tests within the shortest possible time with the skillset of the testing team and after surveying different tools like it, it was the best choice. We were able to achieve our goal and now we can improve and expand our tests. Pros What I like most about Katalon Studio is that you don't need to have programming experience to begin automating software products. It is in my opinion, the best record and play tool out there for test automation. Cons It is difficult to use at initial interaction but with regular use of the tool, it gets better. Also, integrating automated tests from Katalon to a CI/CD tool like Jenkins can be a pain and the customer support is not great. You will rely on forums online a lot to sort out the issues you encounter while using the tool. Also, tests are always failing in the headless browser and there isn't enough information to investigate what the problem is. Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Katalon Studio has more features. It is a very powerful test automation tool and it's useful for testers with varying levels of technical know-how. If you're a tester with no programming knowledge, use the record and play feature. If you have some programming knowledge, you can switch to script and do a whole lot more with your tests. It's also a good tool to develop your technical skills as a tester. Also, it has a lot of information online that can help you when you encounter problems that you don't know how to fix.

So far, this is my favorite automation tool and it boosts my productivity in doing regression tests. Pros Katalon is a free tool that can be used in automation. Although it is free, its features are very useful and essential and this is very easy to learn and explore as well. It is also compatible with web testing and API testing which I frequently use. Cons Definitely none for me. Katalon provides good help for a software tester that is looking for an easy-to-learn automation tool. Review Source PF Paul F. Automation QA Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This is an awesome automation testing tool" April 18, 2019 5.0 \- I use it for the system testing, and it suit for all my needs like how I build my own testing framework in eclipse. I started using it since 2018 Jan and I can see the software keep improving the feature and functionality. As my company need to use Jenkins for the build test and this tool fit for my requirement otherwise if I build my own framework will take me longer time only can start the automation testing. Pros \- The record& playback feature help those QA who doesn't have programming language also can do automation testing. - The object ID changed, immediately all the test cases using the object will get refresh - Object capture can let QA to decide how to navigate to the web element, can have multiple selection by ID,Name,Text,Xpath and so on. If we develop by using eclipse only can have 1 locator at the same time. - Better feature than HP QTP and it's FREE. -Test data can have multiple option like csv,text,excel -Nicer report for all the test suite executed -Allow to import third party library and use it to write the customkeyword in JAVA. -Attached the custom profile use in test suite collection for different testing purposes. Cons \- A lot of issue found when executed the test in command prompt, because I use Jenkins to trigger the test - The browser driver not the latest in the market - Firefox browser not support the latest in the market. - Although I didn't pay for the support but I hope Katalon team can support /fix the stopper issue raised in the forum within short period.

We automated the checking of values in downloaded excel sheets with the values show on screen with Katalon Studio. Pros Was able to automate most of the manual testing work using Katalon studio. Thus saving time and efforts and putting those to use in more productive work. The experience was great working on Katalon studio. The frequent updates of the software, the added enhancements every now and then are perfect. Quicker responses is what one can expect. Coming to the tool, its a great tool to work with. To sum up its a great tool which we can employ without any cost to pay for. Cons It crashed many times without saving the changes I did. Katalon community can be improved. I strongly felt that it should have a revamped User Experience, in terms of color schemes, ease of use and more shortcut keys to be included. Coming to the technical functionalities in the tool, sometimes while after including certain files from a particular folder, it doesn't appear there directly. We have to refresh the tool. It would be great if the tool had some auto-refresh feature. Sometimes while saving an Object Repository file, even if I save file, I am not able to save file and the changes are lost. I feel that improvements can be made on architecture level to sort out all these issues. The tool should be asset light, means should be able to work on minimum computing requirements. Reason for choosing Katalon Studio It was free of cost to use. Review Source AB Abbas B.

It is more user friendly. Pros We are using Katalon Studio for UI automation. Some of the Pros about this software are 1. Free licensing and hence no cost to the company 2. Ability to integrate Katalon studio with the the latest automation tools such as Appium, Selenium and Win AppDriver 3. Ability to record the UI objects using Katalon UI Recorder 4.Ease of use for Manual testers, since recording option is available 5. Support for Groovy and Java languages. 6. Katalon test cloud to host mobile automation test cases. Cons The biggest disadvantage with Katalon is the ability to debug the code at run time. When a code gives an error, the compiler moves to the next line without letting us know what the real error is. Also support for external data source is very limited like connecting to excel or SQL.

Pros Good feature have in testops to schedule build in different environment , it's makes easy to execute in different platforms parallelly. Cons While scheduling build in testops either cloud or local it's being in "Quee" longtime. And some time with out executing it's showing result "Pass" it's a defect we already raised to support team. And while active the local agent it's taking couple of minuities to show the agent in online. Review Source KM Kaviraj M.

I now have the ability to automate most of my tests in a very quick and simple way with this great tool and also provide more coverage for mobile testing. Overall, in the current world, no one beats this tool when it comes to test automation. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn test automation or even to use for their projects to opt for Katalon Studio. There are lots of resources available and forum is very interactive and helpful. Pros It is very user friendly and has loads of functionalities that makes automation testing look so easy and simple. Apart from providing automation solution for web, mobile, and api platforms it also has very useful add-ons to connect to test management tools which makes it very interesting to link tests and bugs directly .

If you want to trust your automation must try katalon studio. its come with all framework setup It's Free! Lot of new feature comes every month or 2 months. Really like the debug mode option saves lot of time when debugging the automation code. Mobile,API,Web automation in tool.

Release Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I still can't believe it's free" August 14, 2019 4.0 Pros It's packed with features, which comes in handy when you want to perform many tasks with one single tool. Getting started is easy, even for beginners; I have a few years of experience in automation with pure scripting and transitioning to a UI based tool was like going from riding a horse to driving a sports car. SpyWeb is incredibly useful, I even prefer it to the recorder, which may seem faster at first, but in my experience it's been far more efective; selecting the right locator immediately after capturing the TestObject really saves time. Databinding in test suites is a blessing, very easy to use and drive tests from this data. Cons The UI is a bit clunky, not very intuitive, and I guess the word is "overpopulated". There are many options, buttons, dropdowns, popups, which can be confusing. The learning process is fast at first, but when you are forced to use extended keywords, conditionals, method calling, the tool becomes a nightmare for beginner/intermediate users. I usually just write methods in script view, but many users have no experience in coding and really struggle with the UI assembly of methods or binary statements. Debugging is somewhat confusing as well, but that's not so important in my opinion. The application takes way too long to \*start\* running tests as the size of them increases (the execution is really fast though). Reason for choosing Katalon Studio Pricing Review Source AD Ajay D. Automation Tester Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Helping in regression testing for my application" April 18, 2019 4.0 Katalon is good tool for automation testing and easy to learn. It have good feature of record and play back which avoids script for the tester. All versions of the Katalon is not stable for some of the feature but it is able to automation large number of the test cases like regression testing. Using katalon we also doing POC for CICD process using Katalon and Jenkins CI tool. I have worked on almost 100 plus test cases using Katalon tool and find it is good for automation testing. In fact, in my organization we have setup one for whole team for katalon related issue and also have purchased Katalon support for enterprise level for technical issues related to Katalon. Pros Katalon have good feature of record and play back which avoids script for the tester. It is keyword driven testing tool. Recently, Katalon launch plugin feature which is very great to have to it as plugin replaced some of the keyword written by our team. Also, anyone can use this tool like technical and non-technical member. Cons Windows testing is not available in Katalon. Sometime tool behaved unexpected like test cases fails and at same time some test cases get pass. Not stable tool.

I think katalon is easier compared with appium. Especially for verify the element displayed or not. In Katalon, we have special method to verify element not exist. Katalon is more user friendly and easier to manage the test case. Pros It is convenient and integrated with Selenium and Appium. It almost has all the features what Sele/App have. Besides, it has its own defined methods which can be used very efficiently to do the testing work. For example, which you want to scroll to a certain text, all you need to do is use scrollToText() without handling the XY coordinate. I truly thank Katalon for making my work easier! Cons I think one feature I am not satisfied is handling the webview in mobile apps. I know there is a method in Katalon which allow us to switch from native apps to webview. But it seems like it does not work for me. When I post the question in forum, I did not get the solution neither. Currently I am working on testing hybrid apps with webview in it. I hope one day you can fix this. Review Source EP Eduardo P. QA E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Katalon Studio Review. Highly Recommended" August 5, 2019 4.0 Katalon Studio has been a great addition to my workflow. It's provided much needed functionality and has saved me lots of time when it comes to testing. The learning curve wasn't so steep and I was able to write some useful tests right out of the box. Pros The beginner friendly aspect of this software makes it great for anyone to begin testing right away. Having the option of capturing browser actions without the need to necessarily having to write the script from scratch made it very straightforward to use. At the same time, having the option to easily customize the script makes it very flexible and helps get necessary testing done quickly. Cons The only issue I've ran into while using this software was some bugs when testing on certain browsers. At one point I had some issues when attempting to run a test on Safari due to some driver issues. There are also some small bugs when running tests on Internet Explorer with window sizing. There were some workarounds for these issues and I was still able to test on all browsers. Review Source Similar Products Featured
