Katalon StudioAssist: GPT AI Test Automation Assistant
Learn with AI

Introducing StudioAssist, a next-generation AI-powered coding companion designed to streamline your Studio programming workflow and empower you to develop test automation code like never before. Leveraging the power of GPT and Katalon Studio, this innovative tool provides context-based code suggestions as well as the ability to provide detailed descriptions of existing code.
StudioAssist won’t make you a test developer, but it will help you be a faster, more efficient, and more collaborative test developer. It is intended to make Katalon Studio even more accessible by targeting that steep learning curve between the easy to learn record and playback capabilities and the early steps into customization of tests using code.
By enabling these steps with AI that both generates code based on descriptions as well as generating descriptions of existing code, quality engineers can quickly generate new Studio code to meet their specific need and create descriptions of existing code they are not familiar with.
Experienced Katalon Studio developers will be able to work more efficiently, and collaboratively, by using the “Explain Code” feature to easily include inline comments so that more junior developers can have clear direction on what sections of code do and why.
