June’s product updates focus on smarter test coverage and smoother execution. From spotlighting real user behavior with test gap analysis to improving manual and automated test workflows in TestCloud, Katalon continues to empower teams to test what matters most and do it faster. Here is what we delivered in June.

Choosing the right test automation tool can feel overwhelming. There are so many options, each promising to improve quality and speed up releases. The best tools do more than just execute tests. They integrate with your CI/CD pipelines, provide actionable insights, and make collaboration easier for the entire team. This is why understanding the factors and criteria behind each tool matters. In this guide, we will walk through everything you need to know to make a confident decision.

Jira is one of the most popular tools for Agile software development. But when it comes to managing test cases, Jira on its own is not enough. That is why teams use test management tools that integrate directly with Jira. These tools help QA teams create, organize, execute, and track test cases while keeping everything linked to Jira issues and user stories. They also provide real-time reporting, traceability, and automation integrations that make testing faster and more reliable.

Page Object Model in Automation Testing is one of the most popular design patterns for building maintainable and scalable test scripts. It is widely used by QA teams who want to write clean, reusable, and easy-to-maintain code when automating tests for web applications. The idea is simple yet powerful. Instead of mixing locators and actions directly in test scripts, the page object pattern in Selenium and other frameworks groups all the elements and actions of a page inside a dedicated class.

Automated testing tools for web applications are essential if you want faster, more reliable releases. They help catch bugs early, reduce manual testing effort, and ensure a seamless experience for your users. But with countless tools available, choosing the right one for your needs can feel overwhelming. Should you pick open-source browser testing automation tools, or do premium web application functional testing tools make more sense for your team?

My team ran 800 test cases. All passed. The AI still went off script. John Doe the Software Tester If that sounds familiar or terrifying this blog series is for you. Something big is happening in software quality. And most test teams aren’t ready.

Batch testing is the process of executing a group of test cases or scripts together without manual intervention. It is one of the most effective ways to validate multiple features at once, especially during regression testing or nightly builds. Instead of running each test manually, you can automate the batch testing process to save time and reduce repetitive work. This approach is widely used in QA teams to improve test execution speed and catch defects early in the software development lifecycle.

Automation testing has become an essential part of modern software delivery. It helps teams release faster while ensuring quality at every stage of development. A well-defined automation test strategy gives QA teams a roadmap to plan, build, and execute automated tests effectively. Behavior-driven development (BDD) takes this further. It bridges the gap between business stakeholders, developers, and testers by using plain language scenarios.

Manual web testing is still the backbone of quality assurance for many teams. It gives you control, flexibility, and insight that automated tests can’t always match. Before automation tools are introduced, or even alongside them, manual QA testing have helped QA teams identify visual bugs, navigation issues, broken flows, and inconsistencies in real-world user behavior. They are a little bit tedious, but they sure are helpful. This guide will walk you through.

When Katalon made the decision to adopt its own quality platform across all internal Quality Engineering (QE) teams, the spotlight was on the tools: Katalon Studio for automation, TestOps for orchestration, and TrueTest for AI-powered generation. But behind the scenes, what made the transformation successful wasn’t just better tooling. It was the way we managed change.
