Katalon and Sauce Labs Collaborate to Deliver Better Automation and Continuous Testing Experience

ATLANTA, July 9, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Katalon LLC recently announced a partnership establishment with Sauce Labs - provider of the world's most comprehensive and trusted continuous testing platform. This collaboration is aimed at delivering better-automated cloud execution, allowing software development businesses to release high-quality products faster.

"One of the challenges that software development teams often face is not having a user-friendly test automation tool and insufficient testing environments. Katalon's collaboration with Sauce Labs directly addresses both of these problems," Vu Lam, CEO of Katalon, said.

Katalon (http://www.katalon.com) is a comprehensive and cross-platform automation solution for application programming interface (API), web, and mobile testing for small-to-large software teams. Sauce Labs delivers a cloud-based continuous testing platform that provides development and quality teams with instant access to the test coverage, scalability, and analytics needed to ensure their web and mobile apps work flawlessly on every browser, operating system, and device. This collaboration is part of the Sauce Labs Technology Alliance Program (TAP).

"We believe this partnership is another step closer to shorten journeys to the cloud between test automation and continuous testing," Lam continued.

This alliance introduces Sauce Labs Integration with Katalon Studio, a product of Katalon platform. This is an add-on product - also known as 'plugin' - that offers a convenient solution for web and mobile testing across multiple platforms and browsers. The seamless integration between Katalon Studio and Sauce Labs Continuous Testing Cloud offers a host of key benefits for software developers and quality assurance testers:

    --  The ability to remove the cumbersome step of manually configuring test
        environments
    --  The versatility to run remote tests under a vast number of execution
        environments
    --  Full coverage of test results on both Katalon and Sauce Labs analytic
        dashboards
    --  More time and effort to focus on higher-scale tasks such as planning and
        innovating

Starting from version 6.2, Katalon Studio supports the latest versions of iOS and Android (iOS 13 and Android 9), as well as Appium versions 1.12.1 and Xcode 10.2. This allows greater flexibility to test web and applications under many more environments.

As part of their roadmap, Katalon is planning to roll out Katalon Studio version 6.3 in the future, which enables the recording and spying features in cloud-based devices.

"Today's software experience is becoming more customer-centric than ever before," Lam said. "Consumers' low tolerance for defects and with high demands for a flawless user experience have driven software-as-a-service (SaaS) enterprises to provide better technology solutions. Cooperating with Sauce Labs is one of our initiatives to elevate the customer experience for both of our customer bases."

This event marks another partnership between Katalon and a software provider company in the test automation industry. Katalon's past and current service partners include Applitools, Kobiton, KMS Technology, Tricentis qTest, to name a few.
