AI features and automation save time and enhance test quality
Katalon Test Ops has AI features that speed up the process by automating tasks that would otherwise be done manually. It can integrate with different applications and is user-friendly. One notable AI feature is the self-healing capability, which automatically corrects failed scripts, solving problems in less than five minutes and improving the quality of code.

KreshenAmourdon - PeerSpot reviewer
An automation solution with good integration capabilities that needs to focus on providing an option for chain testing to its users
In our company, we need to maintain the scripts of the product daily, and in case of failures, we need to check out the scripts. I would recommend the product to those planning to use it based on both they are planning to build. If you are going for unit testing or small scripts, then you can go with SpecFlow. I don't have much experience with the solution. It is a good and straightforward product. It is also an easy-to-use and user-friendly product that can easily adapt to any framework. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

"One of the most valuable features of SpecFlow for us is its risk identification capabilities."
"SpecFlow's best feature is the ability to add additional layers to the programming."
 

Cons

"The execution module of Katalon Test Ops may need some improvement, especially when running a high volume of test scripts."
"SpecFlow's installation and configuration can be a bit challenging due to its flexibility as an open-source tool."
"I'd prefer in TFS if we could be writing test cases, not in the old classical version. We should be writing in Gherkin and then automatically have it convert that Gherkin test case into SpecFlow feature files."

"Regarding improvement, it would be good if SpecFlow could provide chain testing, which it currently doesn't allow."
