What you can do with Katalon
Katalon Studio is a download you install, with record, low-code and scripting modes. Runtime Engine runs tests from CI, and TestCloud runs them on cloud browsers.
Options, from more code to none
Playwright: code, best for engineers. See Playwright vs DoesQA.
Selenium: WebDriver code, best for WebDriver experts. See Selenium vs DoesQA.
testRigor: tests in plain English. See testRigor alternatives.
mabl: low-code, best for a broad enterprise suite. See mabl vs DoesQA.
Ghost Inspector: a hosted recorder, best for scheduled checks. See Ghost Inspector vs DoesQA.
DoesQA: hosted, with nothing to install
Also in DoesQA: low-code web tests, Runs from CI and Runs on cloud browsers.
DoesQA builds and runs in the browser. Runs go to hosted parallel browsers from CI, a schedule or on demand, and every Result carries a step timeline, screenshots and video.
DoesQA: email and MFA in one Flow
Built-in email testing and multifactor authentication testing take one Flow through sign-up, password reset and login, with API, accessibility and visual checks alongside. Every Test Case gets its own inbox.
