"The tool has a good record and playback feature for functionality, which saves time when creating automated tests."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"We can write code in Java and it is easy to link to other JARs that we find on the internet, which is very handy."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"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."
"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"We like the fact that it works across mobile, desktop, web, and APIs. Due to this, the solution has a broad range of applications."
"The tool can be handled without any knowledge in parameterisation, especially the TestCaseDesign which makes the tool mighty and stable."
"Object Identification Wizard."
"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."
"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"Currently, I'm the only one who can use it because I have a Mac. It is giving a hard time to my team members who are on Linux. My team members are using Linux, and Katalon doesn't support Linux very well. It keeps on crashing. It crashes and shuts down almost every time they save their work, so they are not able to use it. It should have good support for Linux. We don't know what the problem is. If the Katalon team can pick up this issue, it will be very helpful."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"Its stability needs improvement."
"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."
"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
