Overall Satisfaction with Katalon Studio

Katalon studio is relatively new to market but its popularity is growing rapidly. We have started exploring this tool recently and found it very useful if you compare it with other open source tools such as Selenium, Appium etc. It works very well for automating Web/Mobile/APIs with features like Record/Run, Object Spy etc. Altogether it is all in one tool for test automation. Easy to integrate with Git and Jenkins. It also has very nice reporting features with Dashboard. Overall Katalon studio is going to be a leader in test automation industry in coming future. Limitations: Katalon studio didn't locate the Android SDK automatically. We need launch Android emulators manually while running mobile automation tests. Katalon studio Debugging feature is not available with free version. Data driven feature at test case level is also not available with Katalon studio free version.

Ready API is one of the most popular and widely used tool for API automation. Data driven testing and reporting are some of the features which makes this tool very useful. but if we compare this tool with Katalon Studio, this is only useful for API automation where as Katalon studio is useful for Web, Mobile and API automation as well.

Katalon studio is where you will get almost all test automation solutions at one place. This tool is well suited for Web, Mobile and API automation. Parallel test execution is also made easy with Katalon studio. Data driven testing using excel, csv etc is also very useful. but it has limitations, there is no provision to open or work with multiple projects at same time in Katalon studio. Debugging feature is also not available with Katalon studio free version.
