Katalon vs TestBooster
Katalon Studio is a comprehensive test automation platform that combines a recorder interface with scripting in Groovy/Java. While it supports web and mobile testing, advanced features require coding knowledge. TestBooster replaces this complexity with an intent-driven AI that understands tests written in plain natural language.
| Feature | Katalon | TestBooster |
|---|---|---|
| Coding required | Groovy/Java for advanced tests | No code — natural language |
| Test creation speed | Moderate (recorder + scripting) | Up to 24x faster |
| Resilience to UI changes | Partial (self-healing) | |
| Native mobile testing | ||
| Natural language input | ||
| CI/CD integration | ||
| Auto-generated evidence | Basic reports | Full screenshots + logs |
| Intent-driven AI engine | ||
| Test maintenance effort | Medium-High | Minimal |
| Non-developer access | Partial |
Our conclusion
Katalon is a capable platform for teams willing to invest in learning its toolset, but it still requires technical expertise for complex scenarios. TestBooster delivers the same breadth of coverage — web and mobile, CI/CD integration, real-time reporting — with zero coding, automatic UI adaptation, and up to 24x faster test creation.
