"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. It is not that hard to learn and use. There is so much support out there, so if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"The functionality of the data is very good. You can upload and disperse data using the solution."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"This solution is very easy to learn and any non-programmer or manual tester, with little experience in automation, can pick it up quite easily."
"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like."
"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."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"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."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"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."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"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."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"It can be quite expensive."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
