Provides good stability and a valuable object identification feature
We evaluated data testing for millions of records. As per architecture, it can efficiently run a few thousands of records. However, we couldn't implement it for millions of records. Thus, it works well for a small amount of data. We have 30 users for it in our organization and use it daily. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.
Anuradha.Kapoor Kapoor - PeerSpot reviewer
Functional automation features and the recording functionality saves time but the performance and script execution is slow
I would like to see improvements in how Katalon Studio works with iOS applications, especially with React Native applications. The speed is very slow. It takes time. Katalon Studio also takes my laptop memory, and execution becomes slow for the script. There are parallel execution options. I'm sure their online cloud version must be very fast, but as a service-based company, we are under NDA with our clients and can't run their code on our servers. I would like to see iOS improve and see a more capable recording feature. Katalon Studio has released an AI version, and I have a demo scheduled to see the new features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform contributes to faster test release cycles."
"Katalon Studio is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"The tool has a good record and playback feature for functionality, which saves time when creating automated tests."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
 

Cons

"The platform's reporting aspects can be broader and include more granular details."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"Katalon Studio should improve its usability, it still needs some improvement where users can easily use it to build their automation suite. It requires some initial work to set it up. There should be more keywords in the library to limit the coding requirements, this will allow a non-technical person easily start using it, which would be better."
"The price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"I would like Katalon Studio to develop manual test case generation using AI capabilities, as other tools like those using OpenAI are already doing this."
