Dependency Management- Maven should include Faced the problem to connect the app in Dev environment through VPN to real devices in the cloud.
Creating a Project that includes all common features. Also, TestOps area as well which allows integration of all new technologies/tools.
Record mobile option has an issue with sync from the real physical device. The side navigational window sometimes not sync instantly. It requires to refresh the screen.

I started to use Katalon Recorder for my first ever automation implementation. I was able to create an E2E solution in just over 2 weeks. With a very basic pre existing know how on automation , I would say a job well done !
Ease of Use. Community support. Intuitive UI .
Katalon Recorder has some limitations. If you could introduce a headless run mode , it would be unrivalled.

I highly recommend all those who have very little knowledge of coding and want to pursue their career in automation can use Katalon Studio. Organisation who wants Automates solutions can also go for this as this is free and time saving.
1. Almost all the feature for automation. 2. User friendly UI. 3. Support lot of integration. 4. Can do automation of Web,Mobile and API. 5. Can build automation scripts in less time than WebDriver. 6. Provide lot of useful plugins. 7. Reporting part is very useful. 8. Acn write code in manual mode and script mode.
I found nothing major till now. But if it would be greart if Katalon can open multiple projects at the same time.Right now only one project can be open at a time.

My experience is great. I can do wonders in using this tool for automation.
It is tool with in built framework. UI Features are easy and great.
There should be provision to create re-usable functions . It is there in keywords but some better option then will be good. Mobile automation still needs to develop. There is little lagging in that.

It was great. The tool is basically free to use. The sets of automations are well developed.
Testing web and mobile app is very much easy by this tool. The automation procedure is great. The UI is great. Test data management and recording of test generation are the features of Katalon I love the most.
The tool is not a open source and the worst thing I've come across that is works on groovy. I would like to seen more coding languages added to the software. I've also encountered some lag while using this platform on my laptop.

Overall Katalon Studio helped us speed development and create solution which our client liked a lot.
Easy to create testing project & create page models using recording tool. Excellent project structure layout (object repository, test cases, listeners)
It is very hard to debug code & also there are no compile-time error checks.

The improvement that you have to develop new functions to katalon
I think i need auto converter engine to convert old scripts from selenium to katalon so some missed features to support pom.xml and maven must be available this will give katalon the availability to be more customized especially in reporting.

The product is very useful to automate test cases and reduce efforts to test.
Not so much of learning requires to use Katalon, just start using it and later by exploring found so many interesting functionality of it to work on.
Associated with crome version, sometimes need a specific crome version to use katalon.

Free, Selenium based engine, automated testing for UI. It is very easy to deploy and to use because of which it gets my recommendation for being user-friendly.
Lesser number of scripting languages, not open source and has a smaller community. There have been a few bugs and freezing issues as well.

Its a good tool, a nice addition yo a testers arsenal.
This tool is easy to pickup. Quite user friendly and easy understandable. The views for seeing the errors is really nice.
The response time can be improved . Sometimes the output result takes much longer to appear in run time.

Easy of use when it comes to recording test scripts using the record web functionality. Playback of test cases are smooth and fast without any issues. The object repository is easy to maintain and update. Having the ability to have test cases to be data driven (through the use of spreadsheets in our case) allowed for test suites to be set up and run through iterations of test data for a test case.
The size of method code which can be implemented would be the only con I can think of, if the method code could support larger methods within the test cases then 1 script could be used through being data driven for multiple test cases.

The tool makes it easy for us to automate sytems integration tests that need to be run daily, so we can catch any integration problems we might have in our ecosystem.
- Free - Web UI and API testing made easy - Framework approach - Extensibility
- IDE has lots of room for improvement - Some basic bugs have been present for a while now

I am an Automation QA Engineer and I tried using Katalon Studio for API automation. However some limitations regarding it's features made me switch to something else. But I am still using and plan on using Katalon for FrontEnd WEB automation.
Easy to use Integration with Katalon Recorder Can export code into many different language formats API Automation and easy to make assertions
Limited support for types of Auth when using API calls; Kinda complicated when trying to organise Tests in Test Cases in Test Suites - The Overall Hierarchy; When doing more complex test cases and assertions.. it can get stuck or can end up using a lot of system resources; Could have more precise and details errors.

Overall, the product functions better than the comparable selenium recorder. I would like the ability to export web application tests to be run in protractor or some other test runner like Karma. As of right now, exporting the tests for Node produces a file with a 'txt' extension. I'm not sure why it isn't even a '.js' file.
The recorder provides a simple mechanism for creating integration tests.
We are having a difficult time exporting the web-driver tests from the recorder and running them in protractor.

Waste alot of time. A testing tool must be tested more before it is released, or should be marketed as such.
Easy to record and use. Very intuitive. Basically the interface is a copy of Selenium IDE. Records absolute xpath well.
I don't even know where to start. It is very messed up at what it is supposed to do basically. It will give you lots of options to use but most of them are either broken or just there for visuals. The idea behind the tool is great but the execution is horrendous. Eg, You can add csv sheets to the recorder but can't actually use it. You can export scripts from the recorder but it wont even work on their own Katalon studio. Many a times we are unable to save recorded scripts and have to rely on copy paste which actually wastes more time. We all have stopped using this product, and are working on IntelliJ's Idea IDE. Much more reliable and so easy to manipulate the script.

- easy to use - eclipse framework behind - deductive - entry level friendly. it really thought me lots of concepts about automation.

Very helpful for the QA team who has no experience in coding.
Supports Page Object Model, Direct Integration, Cucumber support, API testing
Few minor issue in playback while identifying elements which is not very big and this is start of this application and it can be fixed by katalon.

Very helpful in term of writing faster test scripts, coming with a ready solution. Don't worry about setting up browsers, updating drivers, only select the browser you want to lunch. Organized project by repository.
Very expensive for small businesses like our company

Easy to Understand, Easy to implement. Everything is EASY EASY :)
I love the in build architecture of Katalon. It is a bunch of everything. Just call keywords and do whatever you want to automate :)
As I am software Tester, I found only one bug into Product. 1. We can not modify the name of Test Object. When I tried to changed name then it through error message but when I closed and re-open Katalon then the Test object name is changed. Otherwise product is absolutely best to use

I learned it and have now training several other coworkers to use it.
Katalon makes it possible to create an automated web to lead form submission process, via a unified graphical user interface.
It has a learning curve but documentation and online learning materials are available
