Katalon Rolls Out First Scalable Test Automation Solution for Enterprise and Teams

ATLANTA, Ga., October 15, 2019 -- Katalon LLC introduces its first-ever model for large, medium, and small teams to automate web, API, mobile, and desktop application tests. This model shapes the new product structure of the tool’s most recent release — Katalon Studio 7 (KS7).

Katalon Studio 7 is enriched with new features that allow automation testers to elastically scale project scopes, enhance team collaboration, save maintenance cost and effort, and ultimately optimize product quality. This release also marks a significant milestone of Katalon's growth journey after more than three years.

“Organizations in every industry often struggle to find an automation solution that can be scaled for small to large teams,” said Vu Lam, CEO of Katalon. “Katalon Studio 7 emerged to meet this challenge. This is our most advanced and best-of-breed version to date with features that can fulfill the demands of projects scalability.”

Katalon Studio 7 addresses issues arising not only in small teams but also in mid-size businesses and enterprises. It encapsulates the capabilities needed for a comprehensive automation experience, such as resolving problems with the wait feature in Selenium WebDriver. Katalon Studio 7 capabilities target the key automation trends in 2019 and in the next two years: easy test script maintenance, self-healing capability, AI-assisted analytics, Selenium-based automation tool, record and playback, and end-to-end testing.

Some of the new features in Katalon Studio 7 include:

- Smart execution: Katalon’s cutting-edge Smart Wait function tackles an apparent pain point in Selenium: high flakiness and instability of results due to timing issues. This mechanism stabilizes all front-end processes — including Javascript or Ajax — without having to add any additional codes.

- Desktop application testing: Allowing for testing desktop applications. Katalon Studio 7 now supports testing applications on Windows 10.

- Test artifacts sharing: Export and import test cases, test objects, profiles, and keywords across projects in Katalon Studio.

- Comprehensive data-driven testing: provide custom data sources and enhanced capabilities to develop test cases with data-driven practices.

Making test automation accessible for businesses of any size is mission-critical for us at Katalon,” said Uy Tran, Product Owner of Katalon. “Since the test automation landscape continues to evolve, it is a must for test automation solutions to stay agile. I believe the end-users can leverage Katalon Studio 7 distinctive capabilities to achieve automation success with minimal investment possible.”
