Katalon Establishes Partnership with CircleCI to Augment Go-To-Market Software Delivery

By AIT News Desk On Mar 23, 2020

Katalon LLC announced a partnership and integration with CircleCI to ensure a secured integration between the codeless test automation solution and the continuous integration and delivery platform, respectively

Katalon provides a robust cross-platform test automation solution that supports web, application programming interface (API), mobile, and desktop testing for teams with minimum requirements for programming skills. CircleCI is a leading continuous integration and delivery platform used by the world’s best engineering teams to radically reduce the time from idea to execution.

“Continuous integration is at the heart of digital transformation,” said Dung Ngo, VP of Product at Katalon. “We believe this partnership will help our mutual end-users to move further than just automated testing: to empower continuous testing through intelligent automation, and build frictionless CI/CD pipelines that drive sustainable values for their organizations.”

This partnership introduces the official support of CircleCI to Katalon, through the partner-certified plugin called “Katalon Orb.” Orbs are “shareable packages of configuration elements, including jobs, commands, and executors,” according to CircleCI. Katalon Orb expands the integration capability of Katalon with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools, while offering a host of benefits to the end-users in both engineering and quality assurance teams, including:

Ensuring security and eliminating risks when integrating Katalon with CircleCI
Reducing the time and effort put into configuring, writing test scripts, or integrating Katalon and CircleCI
Improving the reusability of test artifacts, jobs, commands, and executors when designing test cases

Katalon Orb is available for installation on the CircleCI platform.

“This new integration is the next step to complement our goal of making our product a comprehensive tool that meets the demand for project scalability and team collaboration. The partnership with CircleCI enhances Katalon’s native integration with other DevOps tools, and sets up seamless integration solutions for teams with specific needs for their CI/CD ecosystem,” Dung continued.

This collaboration also marks a new name added to the Katalon Partner Program. Along with the constant growth in product development and customer experience, Katalon also centers on expanding its community of partnership to provide a wider scope of test automation needs for the end-users.
