As Agile and DevOps development methodologies have matured over the past decade, companies have made great strides in creating software development platforms that are open and integrated. These platforms have greatly improved the efficiency and collaborative capability of development teams. They have helped break down silos of work, improve communication and clarity, and provide visibility into all activities in software development.

Katalon’s continuous improvement of TestOps this month includes significant upgrades and additions to Test Run reporting, support for the Private SaaS deployment option for TestOps, and updates in support of continuous security enhancements.

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.
