Katalon Studio capabilities

This section shows you capabilities unique to Katalon Studio.

Capability	Description
Application Under Test (AUT) Testing Combination	Katalon 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 options	Katalon 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-healing	The self-healing mechanism deals with broken locators during execution to reduce the test maintenance effort. For more details, see Self-healing tests.
Smart Wait	Smart 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 Capsule	Time 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.
