The software testing landscape continues to evolve. We have seen the continuation of developing trends and the emergence of new trends in 2019. This year, our team of automation experts has cast a few predictions on the latest trends in the software testing industry. Check them out!
2019 is almost over. The software testing landscape has seen numerous introductions in new testing approaches and innovations at an exponential rate. It has also witnessed the continuation of technological improvement, evolution, and reinvention. As we are progressing to 2020, let’s take a retrospective look at the top trends in test automation and see how we stand after one year.
For those who are familiar with Selenium WebDriver, one of the most common features is the Wait command. These commands are handy in test scripts execution, or observing and troubleshooting issues that arise due to time lag. Wait commands are powerful — but they also come along with a big problem with timing due to front-end processing. Starting from version 7.0.0, we have introduced the Smart Wait feature that helps you handle Selenium wait issues without any additional test scripts.
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.
