It is a scalable product."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."

"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"I can say that in my company, we struggle a lot with iOS automation."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"The scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."
"We'd like it to have less scripting."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
