Hey everyone! 
I’m Elly, and I’m so excited to kick off this learning journey with you in our “Study with Me” space! 
I just started my first course on Katalon Academy, and I thought it’d be fun and helpful to document the experience here. Hopefully, it might help some of you who are also just beginning!
Week 1: Laying the Foundation with the Katalon Platform
To start my journey toward a Katalon certification, I jumped into the “Getting Started with Katalon Platform” course. It’s been fascinating to learn how everything in the platform operates! Here’s a quick look at what I’ve been covering so far:
Key Takeaways:
-
Understanding the Katalon Platform: It’s all about boosting testing speed and efficiency. The platform has tools for everything—authoring, reporting, execution, and planning. It’s a full testing suite that makes automation feel smooth and structured.
-
Exploring Katalon Studio: My first glimpse into Katalon Studio was eye-opening. It’s incredibly user-friendly, especially for newcomers! I got to explore how testers create and manage their first projects and workflows—this made automation testing feel more accessible.
-
Managing with Katalon TestOps: I’m thrilled to see that testing here isn’t just a solo activity; it’s collaborative! With TestOps, adding team members, assigning tasks, and sharing reports is super simple, making teamwork feel seamless.
Challenges:
- Keeping Pace: The course is content-rich and moves quickly, so I’m finding I need to stay focused on each section to make the most of it and ace those quizzes.
Helpful Resources:
- The Quick Guide for Testers has been a lifesaver for understanding foundational concepts and easing any confusion along the way.
Goals for Next Week:
- Next up, I’ll be diving into Katalon Studio’s Record and Playback features in the Katalon Studio for Beginners course! I’m excited to get hands-on and see how the process really works. Wish me luck!
That’s all for my Week 1 update! I can’t wait to keep learning and sharing with everyone in this “Study with Me” space.
Got Tips or Questions?
If you’re also learning with Katalon Academy or have already completed these courses, I’d love to hear your tips! How did you tackle challenges with scripting, and do you have any other resources that helped you?
Let’s keep each other motivated, and I’ll be back soon with more updates.
