Live testing on desktop

Prerequisites
  • You have an active Katalon TestCloud Live Testing subscription or trial.

Live manual testing involves interacting with applications in real time on a live environment. With TestCloud Desktop Live Testing, you can manually perform actions directly on real desktop browsers of macOS and Windows operating systems. This allows you to validate application functionality and ensure a consistent, seamless user experience across various desktop environments.

Some of the live desktop testing features include:

  • Switching desktop environment: seamless transitions between operating systems, browsers, and screen resolutions to enhance the testing process.
  • Taking screenshot and session video recording that you can download instantly.
