Katalon TestCloud Release Notes
Mar 6, 2026β
Enhancementsβ
- Upgraded OpenJDK 21 in TestCloud environments to support KRE 11.x.
- Enabled KRE 11.0.0 and 11.0.1 to run with TestCloud on TestOps.
- [Linux] Added browser support for Chrome 144, 145 and Firefox 147, 148.
Notes: When executing with KRE 11.x, make sure to select browser version of 140 or higher for compatibility.
Known issues
- For mobile app testing with Parallelize Test Cases mode, tests will run with KRE 10.4.3 even though users have explicitly select KRE 11.0.0 or 11.0.1.
- Mobile browser tests may fail to launch the browser. This is a known issue under investigation.
- If your Remote configuration includes
"remoteMobileDriver": "ANDROID_DRIVER", browser-based tests on Windows and macOS will fail to open. Workaround: Remove"remoteMobileDriver": "ANDROID_DRIVER"from your Remote settings. - Certain locators may not work correctly, resulting in
ElementNotFounderrors during test execution. Affected locators will need to be updated manually. - When KRE fails to send an email report, no attachment is included. Additionally, affected TestOps sessions may be marked as ERROR even if the underlying test cases passed.
