Katalon named a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for AI-Augmented Software Testing
ATLANTA, GA — October 09, 2025 — Katalon, the AI-augmented quality engineering company, today announced it has been recognized as a leading Visionary in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI-Augmented Software Testing Tools. This recognition underscores Katalon’s leadership in building the industry’s only AI-native testing platform that delivers autonomous test creation with TrueTest, advanced AI capabilities in Studio, and enterprise-scale orchestration with TestOps and TestCloud across any deployment model.
As part of its recognition, Gartner spotlighted TrueTest as a key differentiator powering Katalon’s AI-native platform. According to Gartner, “Katalon TrueTest captures user interactions in production and pre-production and uses them to autonomously generate and maintain automated tests that reflect customer behavior. This approach differentiates Katalon from traditional test automation approaches that rely on prescripted scenarios or static requirements”. Gartner also highlights Katalon’s market understanding and freemium-to-enterprise model, which enables teams to start quickly and scale with governance.
“Enterprises don’t need AI bolted onto old tooling. They need an AI-native platform. Katalon TrueTest and Studio were built for the AI era to automate what used to be manual work, expand coverage, and keep pace with modern delivery”, said Vu Lam, CEO of Katalon. “Being named a leading Visionary by Gartner reflects what our customers experience every day: quality at speed, without compromise.”

Katalon continues to invest aggressively in an AI-native foundation that pushes beyond traditional automation. With TrueTest, the platform delivers leading-edge agentic testing capabilities powered by AI that not only generates and maintains tests but also reasons through complex user flows, adapts to rapid application changes, and acts autonomously at enterprise scale. These agentic capabilities work in tandem with advanced AI built into Katalon Studio and scale with enterprise-ready orchestration through TestOps and TestCloud, enabling global teams to increase coverage and maintain quality at the speed of modern delivery.
This innovation agenda extends beyond simply integrating LLM features into legacy frameworks.
