After looking everywhere for an excellent test suite and coming across Selenium, UFT, Waitr, TestComplete and few others, finally we have found a fantastic product to run our integration test, a product that I highly recommend to any QA lover that want simplicity but at the same time the possibility to write code and fully customise your testing.

Katalon Studio

It’s a free product; you can download at https://www.katalon.com/katalon-studio/ and is promise is:

A simple and powerful automation solution. A viable alternative to costly commercial automation solutions

Apart from the marketing slogan, I never see a product so easy to use and completely free! It comes with a recorder that will convert the action in the groovy script, easily modifiable afterwards with a user-friendly interface.

Install Katalon and create your first project

The first step is to set up an account at https://www.katalon.com/ (consider that the username and password will be exposed on your Jenkins box too) and download and install Katalon studio. Open Katalon and create a New Project:
