Katalon website recently had a refreshed look — as you can tell from the website. Our team has revamped our website content structure, as well as the logos of Katalon products.

We’ve incorporated desktop application (app) testing to Katalon Studio — starting from version 7.0.0. This addition to the tool’s existing capabilities (web, API, and mobile testing) will transform Katalon Studio into a complete cross-platform test automation solution.

The brand new Katalon Studio 7 is here! Katalon Studio 7 (KS7) arrived with a host of enhanced features, promising to deliver an enjoyable automation experience and address the common challenges of the testing community. It also comes with new capabilities tailored for medium and large businesses’ needs. Most of these features and functionalities were suggested by the Katalon Community (you want it, you got it!). That being said, here are a few of our favorite things in KS7!

We’re thrilled to introduce the latest Katalon Studio 7 (KS7), a transformative renovation of the Katalon automation solution! KS7 addresses issues arising not only in small teams but also in medium and large businesses, allowing you to elastically scale project scopes, enhance team collaboration, save maintenance cost and effort, and ultimately optimize your product quality.

Regression testing is a software testing practice that ensures an application still functions as expected after any code changes, updates, or improvements. Regression testing is responsible for the overall stability and functionality of the existing features. Whenever a new modification is added to the code, regression testing is applied to guarantee that after each update, the system stays sustainable under continuous improvements.

The beta version of Katalon Studio 7.0 is ready for trial. This version is developed with a whole new set of features, including desktop application testing, smart execution, and more. Katalon Studio 7.0 (beta) is a package of newly added features that are aimed at solving the common problems that occur in large teams. Refer to our release note to discover the improvements and bug fixes in this version.

“Quality at Speed” is the new norm in software development. Enterprises are making their moves toward DevOps methodologies and Agile culture to accelerate the delivery speed and ensure product quality. In DevOps, a continuous and automated delivery cycle is the backbone that makes fast and reliable delivery possible. This results in the need for proper continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools.

You’ve likely heard of the term CI/CD pipeline. You have probably known about these practices: continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment as well. But the uncertainty remains: What are the differences between continuous delivery and continuous deployment? Which one should you apply to your CI/CD pipeline? How are these terms related to one another? How to find out which one suits your team best?

To gain full potential of the software development workflow, developers today must familiarize themselves with the best workflows, practices, and tools. Fast software production is no longer enough to win today’s technology marketplace. Deployments have to be faster, more reliable, and more accurate than the competitors. A sturdy CI/CD pipeline is the solution to this challenge.

We’re thrilled to announce Katalium — a framework that provides a blueprint for test automation projects based on Selenium and TestNG. When it comes to Selenium-based testing, Katalon Studio is a tool of choice for testers and automation engineers. The wide range of built-in features can help simplify the test case building process for users. However, for those who are still working with TestNG and Selenium, Katalium is a great head start.
