What is this?
Is a tool that helps teams and
organizations automate their
software testing needs,
reducing the need for human
intervention and thus
achieving greater speed,
reliability, and efficiency.

Katalon Studio is a convenient tool that uses to
automate testing. The framework for
implementing API, WEB and mobile device It was created on top of open source
testing automation has a full set of functions to frameworks like Selenium and Appium.

framework Platform Support


There is no need to create separate test scripts for different
operating systems, Selenium has automatically configured

Advantages everything

Flexibility
Selenium is supported by many frameworks
(TestNG, JUnit, etc.), that is, it is easily integrated,
which allows you to manage test scripts and
automatically generate reports

Parallel Test Execution


Selenium fulfills the main task of the automated
tool - it saves time and does not lose quality, thanks
to the parallel execution of all test scripts in various
browsers, this goal is achieved
Selenium Slow Test Development Due to the Script-Based Approach
Creating stable and maintainable tests in Selenium is not easy since it
requires expert knowledge in any of the popular programming languages
One of the most popular

framework Inability to Integrate Continuous Testing


With its code-based approach and high dependence on the
UI, it is difficult for Selenium-based projects to shift the

Disadvantages testing to left, which is required for continuous testing.

Longer Payback/ROI time


Due to the high initial time, slow test development,
payback time is longer and makes it non-viable for
small and medium-sized teams.

Low Readability of Test Scripts


The Test Script is not very readable for non-
programmers and non-technical workforce which
hinders their participation in the Test Automation
Process.
Advantages Cypress is an open-source JavaScript end-to-end testing
framework that is designed to make web testing faster, easier,
and more reliable. It provides a robust set of features, including
1. Easy to set up and use: Cypress has a simple and time-travel debugging, automatic waiting, and real-time reloads,
to help developers write and debug their tests with ease.
intuitive API, which makes it easy to set up and use. It
also provides helpful error messages and debugging
tools, which can save a lot of time during the testing
process.
2. Fast and efficient: Cypress is known for its speed and
efficiency. It runs tests in a browser-like environment,
which allows it to simulate user actions and
interactions with the application. It also allows for
parallel testing, which can save a lot of time when
running large test suites.
3. Comprehensive testing: Cypress provides a
comprehensive testing experience, including end-to-
end testing, integration testing, and unit testing. It
also supports a wide range of testing frameworks,
including Mocha, Chai, and Jest.
Disadvantages
1. Limited browser support:
Cypress only supports
Chromium-based browsers,
which means that it may not 2. Limited mobile testing: Cypress
be suitable for testing does not have native support for
applications that need to run testing mobile applications,
on other browsers. which can be a limitation for 3. Steep learning curve: Cypress has
teams that need to test mobile a complex architecture and
and web applications together. requires a good understanding of
JavaScript, which can make it
difficult for beginners to get
started. Additionally, it requires a
separate setup for running tests on
different environments, such as
Continuous Integration (CI) servers.
