Katalon Differentiation and Advantages

Katalon is differentiated from other test automation tools by its robust ecosystem of DevOps integrations, massive global community, and hybrid delivery model (SaaS and On-premise). Katalon also provides a pre-built test automation framework based on best practices, reducing the level of effort required to build and maintain integrations. Here are some key advantages of Katalon over open source test automation:

 

1. Lower resource costs Katalon enables companies to build test automation without requiring coding experience. Customers estimate that Katalon test automation engineers cost 25-30% less than open source developers. Katalon's advanced features, such as self-healing and smart wait, also reduce the effort required to maintain tests, resulting in lower risk and lower resource costs.

2. Increased productivity Katalon customers estimate that resources building test automation with Katalon are 30% to 40% more productive than traditional open source technologies. This results in fewer resources required to build and manage automated tests, increased test coverage, and ultimately higher application quality.

3. Less maintenance effort
   Katalon's pre-built framework and suite of capabilities reduce the level of effort required to build and maintain automated test scripts. Customers estimate that the effort required to maintain Katalon tests is ~30% lower than custom open source. Katalon also has less skill dependency for test case maintenance, resulting in lower risk and lower resource costs.

4. No custom framework to develop and maintain Katalon includes a pre-built test automation framework based on best practices, reducing the level of effort required to build and maintain integrations. Katalon also has 50+ pre-built integrations that further reduce the level of effort required to build and maintain test scripts.
