Katalon TestOps is well suited for an oraganization who want to organize their automation collections and have everything in one place. It provides good insight on test runs, failures and also helps in defect tracking. It is extremely easy to schedule and run test suites automatically. With the help of test history, it becomes easier to triage the report and identify if it is a product issue or a test flakiness. Also with the automation run scheduling features with custom options, user do not have to manually trigger the runs and just run the scheduler to do the job.

QMetry, like any new-gen test management tool, works well with any type of development methodologies, be it agile, waterfall or hybrid. It is positioned to be a tool for enterprises of any size. QMetry also provides easy migration of existing test artifacts from a legacy test management tool to QMetry without loss of any information. The one thing that I see as an opportunity for improvement is trying to provide out-of-box integration with all major test automation tools. Another area could be to expand the offering to include it as a product suite with accessibility testing, security testing, performance testing, and test automation which is what the trend is.

Cons
Katalon Inc
  • Integration with Azure is painstakingly slow as it takes too much time to upload reports to Azure. When raised with the support team i was advised to contact Microsoft who promptly and correctly replied that its an issue with the katalon plugin.
  • Non Responsive Customer Support. Several mails were replied late.
  • The Desktop app uses too much memory when booting up and running tests even on a 16gb RAM.

Katalon Studio is above both the tools is due to its codeless test automation feature and having API, desktop, web, and mobile automation in one place but obviously there is room for improvement when desktop automation is of primary importance in the automation.

QMetry provides an easy path for migration from the legacy test management tool. The migration utility is free compared to other vendors. We have received great customer support from day one of the engagement starting with POC, implementation, and ongoing support. Overall, pricing and licensing model are affordable and attractive.

Return on Investment
Katalon Inc
  • Support can be better: As mentioned before, katlon community is still growing but is currently a small community. If you are stuck, its hard to find help in the community and one has to reach out to the support for help. This takes a while before you can get solution to your problem.
  • Result upload takes little longer time: It is been observed that uploading tests results takes little longer.
  • Sometimes it gets hard to integrate: Since this is fairly a new tool, requires lot of learning curve to get the job done effectively.
