Hello Katalians! It feels like it was just a few weeks ago when we delivered the good news about the release of Katalon Studio 7 . We didn’t want to keep you waiting any longer for the latest and greatest. Today, we are excited to announce the release of Katalon Studio 8 (KS8) . This release comes packed with a broad set of new features as well as dozens of improvements and fixes to continue providing you with a one-of-a-kind testing experience.
Your testing team, from developers to testers, has put out a great amount of work to design test cases. Knowing that an error-free testing process simply does not exist, when it comes to the test execution, this one fails, while the rest passes. Or, is one of them is taking much longer to complete compared to previous runs? How do you determine if your tests have slowed down or increased their probability of failing? This requires context–historical logs from past sessions to be more specific.
Building on the promise to offer a swift testing experience to the testing community, Katalon is thrilled to announce the release of TestOps April 2021! This release adds multiple features such as integration with Pytest, Kobiton, the ability to execute Test Suites in parallel and more!
Not until the early did the concept of a container-based application emerge to transform the IT world. For the first time, the software was deployed consistently and reliably regardless of the target environment’s changes (private or public cloud, personal computer, etc.). With the development of containers, container orchestration has become a trending topic in recent years, with successful applications from the likes of tech giants Facebook, Google, Netflix, among others.
With the expectation to become a $623 billion market by 2023, cloud computing is firmly planted in the technological field. Specifically, the more information that’s created, the higher the demand there is for quick access and manipulation of that data. Therefore, what cloud services offer to end-users is usable and essential: unlimited data storage, disaster recovery, and worldwide access.
Field testing is a critical step in the last phase of mobile testing. After all regression tests pass, testers would go into the real environment to verify an application’s usability and behavior. The purpose of field testing is to determine how an application works before releasing it to end-users. Therefore, teams test to see how end-users use the application beyond the initial frequent use, in a real-world scenario. Testing is carried out using mobile networks only.
Mobile testing involves spotting bugs in a mobile application and fixing them – ranging from identifying sign-up issues, breaking in the payment process, or finding glitches in navigation before it hits the market. This testing can be done manually or with automation, and utilizing the right testing strategy helps meet all quality and usability requirements. Among the elements necessary for a seamless testing process is the selection of the right mobile testing devices.
The “Quality at Speed” movement – or delivering high-quality products in a short period – has expanded beyond the software industry: it appears in the standard playbook of companies in health care, finance, etc. This new movement pushes QA teams to continuously reinvent their software development cycle with advancing technological practices.
Last week, our team at Katalon partnered with CircleCI to present a webinar: Scale your Software Development with Automation Testing and CI/CD. There’s no denying the benefit of automation testing in CI/CD pipeline has on product development cycles: it enables faster builds and deploys by continuously generating quicker and more efficient feedback loops.
It’s perhaps difficult to remember life before smartphones. Today, mobile phones have transformed dramatically to become the information and communication hub fundamental to modern life: from paying for your next meal to tracking your sleep habits. This explosion of the mobile industry puts testing professionals under pressure to keep up with speed without sacrificing their mobile apps’ quality.
