If you're still using an earlier version of Katalon Studio, you're likely missing out on major improvements that make everyday testing faster, easier, and more reliable.
Studio 10.2.0 focuses on solving real-world problems, giving AI more context when writing test scripts, speeding up and clarifying test reports, and strengthening integrations and security for teams working at scale.
Here are the top three reasons to upgrade today.
1. Supercharge StudioAssist with smarter AI context
StudioAssist just got a major upgrade to make your test authoring experience faster and more intelligent. Here’s what’s new:
Leverage test object IDs: StudioAssist now references your existing test object IDs while generating code. This results in more relevant, accurate suggestions that require less prompting.
Customize AI tagging: Define how AI-generated test cases are tagged within your project. You can enable/disable tagging and create custom tag names for better traceability and compliance with internal AI usage policies.
Understand current tab context: StudioAssist recognizes the file type and content of the currently active tab, whether a test case, custom keyword, or test suite, and uses this context to enhance its responses.
Why does this matter?
You’ll spend less time guiding the AI and editing results, enabling faster, smarter test creation that aligns with your existing project structure.
2. Level up reporting and execution diagnostics
This release redefines how you view and analyze your execution results.
New HTML report templates: Redesigned for clarity, our new templates feature improved headers, expandable test case details, and better visual hierarchy for faster stakeholder review.
Optimized report performance: Large reports? No problem. You can now split HTML test reports into a summary and separate detail files, dramatically improving loading times and memory usage.
Autogenerated console logs: Enable automatic creation of console0.log files in your report folder to simplify test execution debugging. Long logs are automatically split for better manageability.
Why does this matter?
You get faster diagnostics, clearer visibility into test runs, and reporting assets that scale with your project.
3. Expand enterprise-grade integrations and protection
From robust integration options to protected test data, this release brings enterprise readiness to the forefront.
Protected global variables: You can now mark global variables as “Protected” to mask sensitive values (like passwords or API keys) and prevent unintentional exposure. If unprotected, visual warnings are shown.
Runtime overrides in KRE: During test execution via Katalon Runtime Engine (KRE), override protected variables on the fly using -p_<variable_name> for dynamic, secure configuration.
Azure DevOps multi-test plan support: Link test cases from multiple test plans within the same Azure DevOps project for more comprehensive reporting—all from a single Katalon Studio project.
Custom capabilities for mobile: Use preconfigured mobile desired capabilities directly in the Mobile Recorder and Spy tools, saving setup time and ensuring consistency across teams.
Latest WebDriverManager & browser support: Upgraded to WebDriverManager 6.0.0 with Selenium 4.28. This release ensures compatibility with Chrome 135, Edge 135, and Firefox 137.
Why does this matter?
Whether you’re testing across teams, platforms, or environments, your test automation framework is now more secure, scalable, and up to date.
Ready to upgrade?
Katalon Studio 10.2 is a leap toward intelligent, scalable test automation. Whether you're accelerating test creation with AI, delivering richer insights through upgraded reports, or managing global-scale projects with enterprise-ready features, this release meets you where speed meets precision.
