Yes, the team expected the implementation to take longer. Given the client’s secure environment, multiple pre-production setups, and many agile teams, the plan allowed for nine weeks or more. In reality, the implementation was completed in about six weeks, even with an unplanned pause, which exceeded expectations and highlighted how smoothly the rollout went — Mush Honda, Chief Quality Architect at Katalon.

The first TrueTest implementation succeeded because the team aligned early on clear goals and maintained an open, realistic mindset about what AI could deliver. By being transparent, receptive to guidance, and working in a stable environment, they were able to move quickly and achieve measurable value much faster than expected, which was the biggest and most positive surprise from the implementation.

AI slows testers down when it’s added without a tester-first experience. Testers naturally question coverage and intent, so Katalon designs AI around real testing workflows to boost productivity instead of creating friction. — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon Follow Katalon for more insights in our series!

Calling Katalon a hybrid testing platform means it brings manual, automated, and AI-generated testing together in one unified system. Katalon is built to help teams design, run, manage, and report on all three types of tests side by side, giving clear visibility into coverage, quality, and release readiness without forcing teams to choose just one testing approach — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon.

Teams that get the most out of TrueTest are those handling frequent releases, supporting multiple applications, and testing complex, end-to-end workflows. It is especially valuable for larger testing teams that need to automate at scale, collaborate across members, and avoid maintenance overhead while keeping up with continuous in-sprint testing and regression needs — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon.

TrueTest amplifies Katalon Studio by automatically turning real manual and production user interactions into automated tests during the sprint. Teams get in-sprint, production-ready automation faster, with minimal effort, directly inside their existing Katalon workflows — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon Follow Katalon for more insights in our series!

Katalon helps organizations accelerate testing by removing complexity from automation. With an all-in-one platform, low-code options, and built-in best practices, teams can start fast, scale confidently, and deliver quality at speed without needing deep automation expertise. — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon Follow Katalon for more insights in our series!

A successful POC shows value fast, within just a couple of weeks, by guiding teams through the tool, confirming success criteria, and proving that AI enhances rather than threatens testers’ work. It’s practitioner-focused, methodical, and designed to demonstrate real impact before purchase. — Mush Honda, Chief Quality Architect at Katalon Follow Katalon for more insights in our series!
