    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.

    ReadyAPI and SwaggerHub are a match made in heaven. Being able to so easily import the API directly into ReadyAPI and then being able to generate a test suite from the API is my favorite part of these softwares. We have rather large services so building out the API can take some time

    • Treating the design as documentation ensures that we have consistent and well defined APIs
    • API consumers can export the swagger definition or code stubs to use within their development environment
    • We can iterate through multiple versions of a definition privately before making a version publicly available

    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.

    • The user interface could be more improved to sustain with other similar tools in the market.
    • Beneficial if we have better integration with third party softwares.
    • Nice to have ability to download the documentation in usable formats.

    Due to the slowness, there is an intermediate timeout. There is no other problem.

    I love the support. They have provided answers and solutions for most of our questions or doubts that could come up. They also have provided basic tutorials on how to get familiarized with the program.

    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.

    The only other product we looked at was Postman. But we liked the SwaggerHub UI & the integrations it has with the AWS API gateway. Though Postman has some other great features like the ability to write test cases & execute them, SwaggerUI was more convenient to document & share them.

    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.
