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.

Very good performance and load testing capabilities
Our company uses the solution for performance and automation testing.  The solution is very helpful for media and visual studio. We have a legacy application related to healthcare products in the hospital management industry. We create a lot of smart objects using Microsoft Objects. For usability…

"User-friendly and a good solution."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."

"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."
"The performance and load testing are very good."
"The way it identifies elements is good."
"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me."
 

Cons

"Its stability needs improvement."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."

"The price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."

"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."
"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."
