The information in this blog post is based on a real-life scenario shared by a user on our Katalon Community forum and is intended to inspire peer-to-peer discussion and collaboration. Please always test solutions thoroughly before implementing them in a production environment. Feel free to continue the discussion here.

In this article, we’ll quickly cover those core Selenium commands and then show how Katalon Studio streamlines the same process - letting you capture a dropdown with Spy Web and select options using built-in keywords like selectOptionByValue or selectOptionByIndex, so you can automate dropdown interactions without writing boilerplate code, but first...

This blog provides a quick guide to find and use XPath in Selenium. XPath uses path expressions to navigate through elements, attributes, and select nodes or node-sets. The basic syntax of an XPath expression is: Xpath=//tagname. Make sure that you have installed a Selenium library. If you haven't, you can have a look at Selenium documentation for how-to guides.

Managing software testing via spreadsheets might be adequate for small-scale projects or startups. However, as your team grows and projects become more complex, this approach quickly reaches its limits. That's why TestOps was born. As a concept, TestOps is relatively new, having existed only since 2019. However, it is the kind of concept that has changed and surely will continue to influence the QA industry.

Business applications like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems stand as the nervous systems of enterprise operations. They integrate core business processes, manage customer interactions, and provide a unified view of business operations. Back in 1999, Hershey's faced a major setback due to a flawed ERP implementation, resulting in a significant loss of sales and profits.

April wasn’t just another release month. It marked the official GA launch of TrueTest, our AI testing solution that replaces guesswork with tests powered by real user behavior Unlike traditional tools that rely on scripts and assumptions, TrueTest learns from how users actually interact with your app, then automatically generates and maintains the tests that matter most. See how it works. This launch marks a bold step toward a smarter future of software quality, and it's only the beginning.

Regression testing is meant to be your safety net. Something changes in the codebase, and your tests make sure nothing important breaks. Yet, over time, features get added, bugs get fixed, new flows get introduced, and the test suites grow. With every change, more tests pile on. What starts as a lean, useful set of tests slowly becomes a never-ending slog for many QA teams.

Automating QA testing helps ensure your website works flawlessly for every user, on every device, under every condition. From login flows to checkout carts, test automation gives teams the speed and confidence to ship frequently without breaking things. In this guide, you’ll learn what automated QA testing is, why it matters, which tests to automate, and how to build a reliable automated QA testing process from scratch.

Website testing ensures your site works as intended for every visitor, on every device, and under every condition. From login flows to shopping carts, it's what protects user experience and business outcomes. But manual testing alone can’t keep up with the pace of modern web development. That’s where automated website testing comes in. It speeds up releases, improves coverage, and gives teams the confidence to ship often, without breaking things.

Test automation is essential if you want to move fast without breaking things. But here’s the hard truth: not every test is worth automating. And trying to automate everything is how teams burn time, introduce flakiness, and end up maintaining tests that add zero value. So how do you know what test cases to automate? That’s what this guide is for.
