Hello Katalians! Katalon Studio team here with some great news: Our latest release of Katalon Studio (8.3.0) is now available, and it is one of our best releases yet. This release introduces changes to the licensing model and focuses on an enhanced user experience, security compliance, reporting and insights, integration with Katalon TestCloud, and much more. As you can see the list is vast, so without further ado let’s dive right into the details.
Keeping software testing processes on track is an overarching goal every QA lead wants for their team. Yet, development projects aren’t always plain sailing. No one wants unhappy clients, and, worse, overworked QA engineers and developers. We all have to accept that activities don’t always stick to the initial planning. Requirements change near the final stages, feature requests are unclear to business values, leaving little time for critical areas to get tested.
Katalon’s Head of Solution Engineering Gokul Sridharan and Armando Wirshing, Director of Product Marketing, recently sat down for a conversation with Kristin Jackvony, author of “The Complete Software Tester,” to discuss her thoughts on automated testing and QA, her personal journey in the world of testing, and what drove her to write her new book.
Being a manual tester is a mentally-taxing career. It is basically part of the job to be stressed out by the number of tests and stretched thin by tight deadlines. In the middle of this chaos, have you ever wondered ”Shouldn’t this huge amount of tests be automated?”.
What: Katalon is deprecating its embedded script repository based on uploads of.ZIP files. Why: Katalon wants to encourage QA teams to adopt industry best practices by using generally available version control systems as script repositories. Katalon has integrations available for a number of the most popular Git-based repositories. Who is affected: All users that have imported.ZIP-based repositories into Katalon TestOps and Katalon Studio instead of integrating to version control systems.
Today, software applications need to deliver a consistent and reliable experience across multiple browsers, operating systems, and devices. To accomplish this, companies are spending valuable resources and time manually deploying dedicated test infrastructures. This translates into a limited availability of test scenarios and prevents companies from generating enough test coverage to ensure the best user experience across the most commonly used platforms.
Happy New Year Katalians! We hope you had a great holiday season and have enjoyed a productive start to 2022. Here at Katalon, we’ve been hard at work preparing the first 2022 release of TestOps. This release includes support for the public release of Katalon TestCloud and test suite creation and execution from within TestOps. Read on to learn more.
To stay on top of the software testing game, QA teams have to keep up with the industry’s evolution. Here are some key findings from The State of Quality Report 2022 that highlight the critical testing trends and practices to test effectively in 2022.
From the traditional Waterfall model to more iterative approaches like Agile and DevOps, software testing is constantly evolving. And while teams have worked their way to deliver quality at speed, there seems to be something holding them back. Read on to learn about in-sprint automation and why it’s the key to moving at DevOps speed.
Delivering quality at speed has become part of the quality assurance lexicon over the past few years. However, as manual work remains “unskippable” in different steps of our test cycles, the goal of running more tests in a shorter time might seem to be out of reach. Today’s article will walk you through the latest features of Katalon Recorder 5.6 and explain how they help reduce manual efforts and shorten your next test cycles.
