Announcing KS10.0.0 Alpha (with Selenium 4 Upgrade)! πŸš€

Hi Community members, :wave:

Today, our Katalon Studio team is excited to share with you a first look at Katalon Studio version 10.0.0 which utilizes Selenium 4.

With Selenium 4, you can expect a few improvements as below:

  • Some built-in keywords show better performance compared to Selenium standalone-v3.141.59
  • The total execution time of test scenarios has been reduced by 21%

As we continue to work on the upgrade, a few issues remain that will be addressed in upcoming builds, include:

  • Unable to record/spy with TestCloud and remote URL.
  • Some keywords are not functioning as expected: Scroll to text, Double-tap, Drag and Drop, Pinch to Zoom in at position, Type on Image.
  • [iOS] Unable to uncheck the XCUIElementTypeSwitch control.
  • Unable to record with KCU on Chrome.
  • Smart Wait is not working.
