Katalon Studio capabilities​

This section shows you capabilities unique to Katalon Studio.

CapabilityDescription
Application Under Test (AUT) Testing CombinationKatalon Studio allows combining multiple application types (Web UI, API, Mobile & Desktop) in one project and execution flow. You can test this capability using our GitHub sample projects.
Flexible test design optionsKatalon Studio test scripts are interchangeable between two interfaces: manual and script editors. This enables a team with a mixed level of automation testing skills to work effectively and efficiently in the same project.
Self-healingThe self-healing mechanism deals with broken locators during execution to reduce the test maintenance effort. For more details, see Self-healing tests.
Smart WaitSmart Wait "tells" the WebDriver to wait for the web page to become static before performing any operations. This reduces the risk of test failures caused when the page has not fully loaded. For more details, see Smart Wait function.
Time CapsuleTime Capsule enables you to restore the Application Under Test to its previous state before the test failed, for example if locators did not find the expected Web UI objects. Learn more about this capability.
