Katalon Studio

Katalon Studio was explicitly built to solve the massive headache of using raw Selenium. Writing Java code from scratch to test a website is incredibly slow and requires expensive software engineers. Katalon wraps the Selenium (and Appium for mobile) engine in a highly visual, user-friendly interface, allowing non-programmers to build complex automated tests. Its signature feature is the "Record and Playback" tool. A QA tester clicks a "Record" button, manually clicks through the website (logging in, adding an item to a cart, checking out), and Katalon automatically generates the underlying automation code in the background. The tester can then replay that test 1,000 times without ever writing a single line of Java. It operates as a comprehensive, all-in-one platform. While a Selenium user has to manually stitch together 10 different open-source tools to build a reporting dashboard, Katalon provides native, beautiful analytics out of the box. It shows exactly how many tests passed, how many failed, and automatically captures a screenshot of the exact moment the website broke during the test.
