It’s designed as a web platform, built on top of Selenium and Appium, which means it contains all the possibilities these libraries have to offer. Development begun in 2015 and their first public launch was in April 2018. It’s a free end-to-end test automation platform for automating web, mobile and API testing. There are many other free and open-source solutions, but which one is capable of replacing Katalon Studio? Well, TestProject might be the one. Which means that using the full blown Katalon Studio is no longer entirely free (more information on their licensing model can be found here). Katalon Studio now has 3 different flavors: the free Katalon Studio, the licensed Katalon Studio Enterprise and Katalon Studio Runtime Engine. Or better, CAME for free: recently version 7 of Katalon Studio was released, which unfortunately included a licensing model. And most importantly, all this comes for free. There are many reasons why it became so popular the simple installation, the intuitive user interface, a record & playback functionality with scripting in manual mode for less technical testers a built-in IDE for scripting and lots of other built-in features. They tend to lean more towards free alternatives, with Katalon Studio being the most popular one. When companies start to explore test automation lots of them don’t have the possibility to invest in expensive tooling. The 3 different flavors of Katalon Studio
