"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"One of the features that I like is Object Recognition. It worked very well, and it allowed me to create a dynamic expert based on my requirements."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."
"Tosca BI is important to make sure that our data integrity is in check and validated; to make sure our data is good. Our data is the number-one important driver for our company, so if that's not good, we have some big problems."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."
"Katalon Studio should improve its usability, it still needs some improvement where users can easily use it to build their automation suite. It requires some initial work to set it up. There should be more keywords in the library to limit the coding requirements, this will allow a non-technical person easily start using it, which would be better."
"I can say that in my company, we struggle a lot with iOS automation."
"Its stability needs improvement."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"The document object model or some aspects of it has a bit of a learning curve."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"The solution should work with the Linux platform. Right now, it only runs on Windows."
"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"Security, UI, and basic performance improvements could be done to the product to enhance its use."
"Might have a learning curve, as it does not follow the traditional Record-Play functionality, but tests have to be built from requirements or Agile story cards."
"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."
