an Excellent Automation Testing Solution for Everyone

It helped me a lot by saving me a lot of time because I do some tasks automation on it and I run some tests to see what's working and what's not.
It's free and easy to use and it's perfect for everyone especially for a small business like me who don't need to have programming skills to runs some web and API tests and do Web Automation.
It's an amazing tool and I hope the Katalon Studio team will keep improving it in the future.

Pros

I like it because It's % Free tool and It's very easy to use with an excellent user interface.
It helped me to test some Automation tasks using an Excel spreadsheet and I find it very useful especially the record option because I don't need to code anything I just need to click record and start to do my task from A to Z and after this, I will just put everything into a Loop and all my tasks are fully Automated.
It's very easy to use and I saved a lot of time using it because I don't have much experience as a programmer and to get someone to program an Automation tool for your business is very expensive but, with the Help of Katalon Studio now I have the Knowledge to Automate any simple task I have.
I run some tests on multi browsers and It's very easy to create cross-browser testing and It allows me to do multi API and Web service testing too.
I love when I get real-time reports about the performance of my test so, I can fix the bug without checking everything.
I like the pre-installed templates because for someone with a little knowledge of coding I can just use Katalon templates and they get the work done without any problem.
They have an amazing support team and a lot of blog posts and question answered on their Community website also, I like when they send me a lot of useful tips and tricks by Email weekly and there's a lot of YouTube Videos about this tool and I learned a lot from it too.

Cons

They can add more features and integrate with other testing and automation tools because this will help in saving a lot of time.
They can improve their Recorder tool and they can add more Browsers too.

Currently we've implented execution of several SC that must be executed every 5min,each SC has UI tests and Data Base tests.

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.

Need to have an automation tool, which could complement our automation framework.
Need to have an automation tool for people who are less tech savvy Spend less time on building framework ourselves

Pros

1. It's free
2. Very easy to use

3. Managing the project on git is difficult. Faced difficulties in collaborating across the team.

Reasons for Choosing Katalon Studio

It is required by the company and at the same time can handle non web apps as well

Reasons for Switching to 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

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.
