Katalon, Inc. today announced the launch of the Katalon Platform, a modern and comprehensive software quality management platform that enables teams of any size to etest, launch, and optimize apps, products, and software easily and efficiently The Katalon Platform solves for businesses the problem of not getting their products to market fast enough because they spend most of their efforts on integration and maintenance, leaving little time for quality testing.
In a single platform, Katalon enables development and quality teams to address all steps in the continuous testing lifecycle with one user interface and a unified data model. As software companies face challenges recruiting and retaining talent, Katalon offers an improved experience for developers and testers that maximizes their talent and efforts.
Providing real-time visibility throughout the entire quality lifecycle, the Katalon Platform:
- Tests new builds
- Authors tests
- Provisions execution environments
- Executes test suites
- Provides release readiness insights for production
- Offers a feedback loop to agile software teams and business owners
Katalon recently achieved the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type II compliance to offer users the highest levels of security and confidentiality.
Companies can avoid complex and brittle configurations when they deploy dozens of discrete products that are digitally duct-taped together, leading to high costs for integrating and maintaining multiple-point solutions. With the Katalon Platform, teams can use AI and ML technology to the author, manage, execute, and analyze tests for web, mobile, API, and desktop apps under one roof to increase production speeds, and save time and money.
To match the new, expanded offering, Katalon also unveiled a bold and dynamic brand identity, reflecting the constant movement and flow that the new platform offers within the testing process. The rebrand also reflects Katalon’s growth, supporting tens of thousands of users around the globe and receiving $27 million in Series A funding led by Elephant Partners.
“The significant increase in capabilities and value delivered for our global customer base is an expression of the new brand and platform delivery model, “In the coming months ahead, Katalon will launch several new community initiatives to foster learning, collaboration, and innovation for those committed to making quality testing an integral part of the software development lifecycle.
