Agent Plugins 1.0: One Packaging Format, and What It Changes for Testing Skills

Katalon's library of testing skills for AI agents holds 13 skills. Building it produces 124 files. The 13 skills are the actual work: how to plan a test cycle, how to design cases from a requirement, how to read a failing run and decide whether a release is safe. The other 111 files are packaging. Four of them arrived this month and they are the subject of this post.

Katalon Named a G2 Leader for Both Mid-Market and Enterprise in Test Automation

Most test automation tools are sized for one kind of team. The ones a lean QA group can adopt inside a quarter tend to buckle when a compliance officer asks who approved a change and when. The ones large enterprises standardize on often need a dedicated platform team before anyone writes a single test. Anyone who has evaluated tooling knows the feeling of reading a glowing review and realizing it was written by someone at a company nothing like theirs.

AI-generated API tests in Katalon Studio 11.4 #Katalon #APITesting #TestAutomation #OpenAPI #QA

Katalon Studio 11.4 can now generate API test cases with AI. Import your OpenAPI specification and Studio automatically creates the Web Service requests in an API Collection. From there, generate tests and save them straight into your project. The AI doesn't just show you a preview. You get real test cases covering positive flows, boundary values, NULL values and empty strings, ready to run and build on like any other test case in your project.

Mobile test recording just got a lot less painful (Studio 11.4) #Katalon #MobileTesting #QA

Mobile Recorder Interactive Mode is now official in Katalon Studio 11.4. Interact directly on the device view and Studio reflects exactly what you're doing. Select an object in Device View, and your test steps follow that selection automatically. We've also improved the action flow so common recorder tasks feel more natural inside your session. Less guesswork. Faster mobile testing. Tell us in the comments which feature you want covered in next month's update.

Katalon Product Roundup July 2026

July was an enterprise month. Most of what shipped answers the questions that come up once a test team grows past a handful of people: how do we hand documentation to an auditor, where is the evidence for this step, who changed this result and when, and how do we run the same suite against a feature branch without rebuilding the integration every time.

Your Mobile Tests Just Got a Lot Less Repetitive | What's New in Katalon Studio | Give It a Test

Katalon Studio's latest update is out. Sơn Huỳnh (Support Engineer, Katalon) walks through what's new in Katalon Studio 11.3 and 11.4 — from a faster, more direct Mobile Recorder to saving your AI-generated API tests straight into the repository.

Building a Playwright AI Agent: How Claude Code Drives Katalon True Platform End to End

Claude Code shipped workflows: reusable, versioned instructions an agent can follow instead of improvising a process from scratch each time. We used that feature to hand Claude Code our entire QA job. Not "write a test case." The whole loop: read the requirement, design the coverage, run it on the platform, file the defect, report back with evidence. The kind of work a QE does in a day, compressed into one skill triggered with a sentence.

Usability Testing for QA Teams: A Session Script, Findings Template, and Priority Matrix You Can Copy

At some point a product manager or a designer is going to turn to the most user-focused person on the team and say: can you run a usability test on this? That person is usually a manual tester, because manual testers already spend their days thinking about how real people use software.

Katalon Product Roundup June 2026

June's releases share one thread: less setup between what you already know and a working test. Production Insights can turn a single real user session into a test case without a full Journey Map first. Katalon AI Assistant now reads the docs and boards your team already works in, shows its reasoning as it goes, and reaches apps your CI never could. Test management got safer to run at scale, with version history, ALM sync, and encrypted secrets. Here's everything that shipped.
