FitNesse vs. Katalon

Useful and straightforward. Appian and other low-code BCM tools can be easily integrated. Writing a script for a test is similar to writing a script in English. So simple to use because it's a wrapper class for selenium. FitNesse is being implemented with the goal of doing it correctly the first time. As a result, migrations of both the client and the server are made easier.

Free trial version is fine but you don't get the adequate support and VFM for the licensed version. Customer service needs to be improved a lot and any QA's with less technical background or less time to troubleshoot issues in the software on their own would find it difficult to use.

• This program makes it simple to do both integration and acceptability testing.
• FitNesse was a huge asset to us when it came to rule testing.
• Scripting with command language is simple.

• Easy to setup and quick to get started: As Katalon comes with built-in features a new automation tester can automate easily. Script creation time is quick.
• Test Analytics: Katalon also provides analytics which tells you the pattern of your automated tests at a different instance of time.
• Third Party Integration: Katalon provides amazing integration with 3rd party tools like JIRA, ALM, GIT, JENKINS, etc.
• Image-based testing: Katalon also provides inbuilt image based test automation.

• Limitations with rich text fields.
• FitNesse cannot properly read the interface if labels or accessibility text is not available.
• Not used for Web interface testing.

• Katalon Studio supports only grovvy language for now. It will be nice to see support for other scripting languages.
• Performance issues; sudden crash of the tool.
• Debug button is provided only to licensed owner since Katalon 7+ version.
• New tool, few resources available to learn. So there is a mild learning curve here.

Due to the slowness, there is an intermediate timeout. There is no other problem.

I love the support. They have provided answers and solutions for most of our questions or doubts that could come up. They also have provided basic tutorials on how to get familiarized with the program.

The FitNesse testing automation framework is very simple to operate. It is simple to connect with the Jenkins and Bamboo environments. It is dependable, and it is simple and quick to include new tests. The process of debugging and fixing test failures is straightforward. FitNesse, including its installation, may be utilized with a minimum of fuss and difficulty. Maintaining scripts and monitoring their output is designed to be a relatively straightforward process.

Initially, our oragnization had to integrate Katalon tests with the Jenkins to schedule the test runs. The reports were stored in company local database. To identify test flakiness or product issue one had to dig deep into the reports. This issue was all solved by Katalon TestOps. Katalon TestOps provides report history in one place and also helps in easy triage of the report by pointing out script flakiness

• Saves developer time on regression testing.
• Developers can spend time on other prioritizes while FitNesse runs regression testing.
• Transitioning into another testing platform would be costly.

• Support can be better: As mentioned before, katlon community is still growing but is currently a small community. If you are stuck, its hard to find help in the community and one has to reach out to the support for help. This takes a while before you can get solution to your problem.
• Result upload takes little longer time: It is been observed that uploading tests results takes little longer.
• Sometimes it gets hard to integrate: Since this is fairly a new tool, requires lot of learning curve to get the job done effectively.
