Maintaining quality while delivering increasingly complex products at higher speeds is a challenge for software teams everywhere. While test automation is essential for detecting issues earlier and accelerating development cycles, automation alone is only part of the equation.
Scaling and managing a test automation practice, and integrating it effectively into a DevOps workflow, is often the greater challenge. Without proper orchestration and visibility, teams struggle to turn automated tests into actionable insights.
Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Katalon TestOps, an open and comprehensive test orchestration platform designed to eliminate bottlenecks, streamline test automation processes, and provide data-driven insights. All in one place.
TestOps helps teams manage tests, orchestrate execution, and analyze results more effectively, enabling faster delivery without sacrificing quality.
Auto-distributed Execution
Building on the goal of accelerating test execution without compromising accuracy, auto-distributed execution provides a more efficient approach to running tests in parallel.
This capability allows any active agent to automatically pick up available jobs, minimizing idle time and optimizing overall execution throughput. Instead of relying on static allocation, TestOps dynamically assigns jobs based on agent availability.
Key benefits include:
-
Reduced execution time through dynamic job assignment
-
Improved resource utilization with just-in-time scheduling
-
Automatic load balancing across active agents
By ensuring that agents can immediately take on new jobs as soon as they become available, teams can significantly shorten execution cycles.
For technical details on how this feature works, refer to the TestOps documentation.
View Re-run Test Results
TestOps presents test results in a way that enables faster, more confident decision-making. With this release, we are introducing consolidated views for re-run test results.
Rather than reviewing multiple retry attempts across separate logs, TestOps now combines all retries into a single execution report. This allows teams to quickly understand final outcomes without manually comparing log files.
With this enhancement, teams can:
-
View all retry attempts as one execution
-
Focus on final results instead of individual retries
-
Reduce analysis time when investigating flaky tests
This streamlined view helps teams spend less time on investigation and more time on improving test reliability.
For more information on using this feature, see the TestOps documentation.
Similar Error Suggestion
Identifying failures is the primary purpose of software testing. Identifying the root cause of those failures is often the most time-consuming step.
Similar Error Suggestion helps teams quickly identify common failure patterns by grouping test results with shared error characteristics into a centralized view. This reduces the need to manually inspect each failure individually.
With this feature, users can:
-
See grouped summaries of similar errors
-
Identify recurring failure patterns more easily
-
Navigate directly from a test result to its detailed summary
By surfacing related failures together, TestOps significantly shortens the time required to diagnose issues and take corrective action.
For details on how to leverage this feature in your environment, refer to the TestOps documentation.
In Case You Missed It
TestOps continues to evolve to support teams as their automation practices grow in scale and complexity. In addition to the features highlighted above, TestOps remains the central place to:
-
Manage and organize test libraries
-
Schedule and orchestrate test executions
-
Gain clear, actionable insights from test results
If you are looking to improve execution efficiency, reduce analysis time, and gain better visibility across your automation pipeline, TestOps provides the orchestration layer needed to support modern DevOps teams.
