Katalon Studio

Amazing product for collaborative API Testing

Pluspunten:

Team Collaboration, Test Management, Code snippets functionality.

Minpunten:

UI could be improved to have less clutter and Test Verification tab should have facility to open in side window for easy code writing.

Automation Tools that makes newby Automation Engineer can play around like a pro

Opmerkingen: its very easy tools to use especially if you don't have any experience with automation tool. 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.

Pluspunten:

- 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

Minpunten:

- 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

Not very much compatible with Salesforce

Opmerkingen: I would say average for initial config its good but for overall complicated scenarios its not

Pluspunten:

the ease of use - its very user friendly

Minpunten:

It is not very useful in case of shadow dom's

Front end web testing, with ease

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

The design is horrible. It feels like interacting with an app built in the early 2000s. BUT, it works well.

Makes life easy

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

You guys are making improvements on your reporting tool, but it used to be a major headache. Other than that, no major headaches.
