Possible danger is you just missing features because of the overload of functions you have in the dropdown selection. Next to the recording options you can manually add the functions to the script, you only will face the same issues as with the comparison and need to go through the complete list of functions. An improvement would be if you just could click a checkbox and the amount of options would be reduced to only comparison functions. You will need to select the dropdown list and there is an overview with all the possible functions you could execute. The only issues I had when you want to compare values or objects, you will need to go into the recorder and edit the specific step. The recorder itself works flawless, it will save all your movement and clicks correctly.

As I expect when I download a software package this is straight out of the box.

#Review of katalon studio install#
The version I used had some issues with Internet Explorer and asked to install an extra patch of software. You can give in the url were the test is going to start and which browser is being used. Inside this dialog you will have your script and also the settings. When clicking the button there will be a dialog Web Recorder. You can use the recorder, this functionality is started when clicking on the corresponding button. In the software you have several different methods to create testcases, depending on your technical skill level. They ask you to provide an email address before you can start, which is kind of strange as this is a free software package.Īfter the setup and following some tutorials on the Katalon website I was ready to create my first testcase in the application.

When the download is finished you have a zip file, after unzipping this you can start the software and here is the first negative point of Katalon Studio. Katalon studio is a free and open source tool that you can download from the developers website. As I was interested in the tool, I downloaded it and started to play around and check if this is a possible contender to introduce as a new test tool for upcoming projects. Katalon is no longer a new kid on the block, but just recently started to get traction inside the testing community. Katalon Studio is the first testing tool I will review on my blog.
