Desktop testing support

What's new

• Windows desktop application testing is now officially supported in Katalon Studio 10.4.0. 
• All outstanding stability issues have been resolved, enabling reliable automation of Windows desktop applications using FlaUI.

Why it matters

• Many users on Katalon Studio 9.x have been unable to upgrade due to desktop testing requirements. 
• This release resolves that blocker, allowing all desktop testing users to migrate to the modern 10.x platform.

Why it matters

• Eliminates repetitive authentication configuration across hundreds of API requests. 
• Centralizes credential management for easier maintenance. 
• Reduces authentication setup time by up to 70% through inheritance patterns similar to Postman collections.

How it helps you

• Faster API test suite creation with one-time setup.
• Easier credential rotation across entire collections.
• Visual indicators show inheritance status.
• Bulk updates propagate instantly to all inheriting requests.

Mobile Testing - support for iOS 26 and Android 16

What's new

• Support for the latest iOS 26 and Android 16 versions, along with Appium 3.0.2 compatibility.
• Includes new execution settings for per-platform timeouts, command timeout configuration, and customizable delays between mobile actions.

Why it matters

• Keep pace with mobile OS updates to ensure your test automation works on the latest devices.
• Enhanced execution settings provide better control over mobile test stability and timing, reducing flaky test results.

How it helps you

• Test on the latest iOS and Android devices without compatibility issues.
• Fine tune mobile test execution with platform-specific timeout settings. Reduce mobile test flakiness with configurable action delays.

TestCloud 2.13.0

Expected release date: October 29th.
