Katalon Studio developed by KMS Technology as a free automation testing solution. The software is built on top of open-source automation frameworks Selenium, Appium with a specialized IDE interface for web, mobile and API testing.[1]
Approach
The test automation framework provided within Katalon Studio was developed with the keyword-driven approach as the primary test authoring method with data-driven functionality for test execution.[2]
The user interface is a complete integrated development environment (IDE) developed on Eclipse rich client platform (RCP).[2]
The keyword libraries are a composition of common actions for web, API, and mobile testings. External libraries written in Java can be imported into a project to be used as native functions.[3]
The main scripting language is Groovy, Java [4] [5], and JavaScript and can be executed against all modern browsers, iOS, and Android applications supported by Selenium and Appium.[6]
A notable benefit of Katalon Studio to the automation tester is that it includes the up-to-date drivers which are compatible with the latest web and mobile environments over it monthly release.[7]
Product
Katalon Studio provides dual interchangeable interfaces: the recording- tabular editor for less technical user and the scripting IDE that is geared toward experienced tester to authoring automation scripts with syntax highlight and auto-complete functions.[2]
Katalon Studio follows page object model pattern.[8] GUI and API elements can be captured using the recording utility and stored to Katalon object repository.
Test planning can be structured using test suite with environment variables. Test execution can be parameterized and parallelized using profiles.
The remote execution can be triggered by CI systems via Docker container or command line interface (CLI).[9]
Debug information and Test reports can be viewed inside the Studio, exporting to JUnit format or analyzed by Katalon Analytics - Katalon cloud test reporting service.[10]
Integration [9]
Git for version control system and team collaboration.
Jira BBD plugins for BDD practices and bug submission.
Slack/email integration for notification and reports.
qTest integration for Test management.[11]
Kobiton [12]/Browserstack/Sauce Labs integration for cloud test environments.
