Robust test automation in Katalon Studio starts with stable test objects. Flaky tests almost always trace back to one root cause: brittle locators that break the moment the UI changes. The best approach is to use unique, static attributes like id or custom data-qa attributes. When those aren't available, CSS and XPath are your tools. This post covers how to write each type of selector, when to choose one over the other, and how to handle dynamic attributes using contains() and starts-with(). At a glance.

Your developers are shipping more code than ever. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and tools like them have fundamentally changed developer throughput - some teams are seeing 40-76% more code per person per sprint. That is the headline everyone celebrates. The part that keeps engineering leaders up at night is the other side of that equation: your testing pipeline has not changed at the same pace. Tests that used to gate two releases a week now need to gate ten.

It is Monday morning. Your VP of Engineering just forwarded a company-wide memo: every team needs to demonstrate AI adoption by end of quarter. At the same time, you learned last week that your QA budget was trimmed by 15%, because leadership assumes AI will "make testing more efficient." And your developers? Thanks to Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code, they are now shipping 76% more code per person than they were two years ago.

February introduces practical improvements across Test management, TestCloud, and TrueTest that help teams move faster while maintaining better control over testing operations. Here's what we have released.

February brings a wave of upgrades across the Katalon platform to help you test smarter, not harder. From deeply customizable analytics dashboards and native release management in TestOps, to AI-driven API test generation, self-healing, and a modernized Studio 11 runtime, this month focuses on visibility, stability, and speed at scale.

The number of API testing tools on the market for you and your team to try out and select will probably take forever. Here are several key considerations to keep in mind when choosing one: Smart Summary Our comprehensive analysis of automated API testing tools provides crucial insights for teams aiming to optimize their development workflows.

Regression testing is a technical validation performed by QA teams to ensure that code changes haven't broken existing functionality. It asks the question: "Did we break anything that previously worked?" Regression tests run continuously throughout development, often automated within CI/CD pipelines, protecting the application's stability as it evolves. User Acceptance Testing (UAT), on the other hand, is a business validation performed by actual users or stakeholders. It asks.

When choosing a mobile testing tool, consider: It's about choosing the mobile testing tool that fits. If you're still in consideration stage, we've got you covered. Here is a list of the best automated mobile testing tools and frameworks out there for you to try, with pros and cons listed to help you make informed decisions. Smart Summary Navigating the landscape of automated mobile testing tools requires aligning capabilities with team expertise and project requirements.

Katalon Studio 11 focuses on making test creation easier, smarter, and more reliable. This release upgrades the Web and Mobile Recorders, adds new AI-powered features for test creation and self-healing, improves diagnostics, and refreshes core frameworks for better security and compatibility. Smart Summary.

Every business wants to mature rapidly. For software testing and QA professionals, terms such as low-code application testing, codeless tools, and automation will definitely ring a bell. From a market perspective, a product perspective, and especially a tech stack perspective, ensuring quality is critical in software development.
