Ask Katalon Anything (AKA) June 2025 is officially live! 🎉 This is a great opportunity for you to engage with the Product Managers behind Katalon products and dive deep into any questions you may have about test automation from scripting, best practices when using the Katalon Platform, to our development roadmaps, upcoming features, and much more. For this round, we have made it even easier for you to join. Instead of having all questions under one thread, we now have four dedicated threads so you can ask directly on the product that matters most to you (see “Where to ask” below). ### 1.

If you captured the test objects at first using Web Recorder, we will capture all types of locators so that when using Self-healing, it can fall back to other locators if the first one fails. Recently, we have [Recorder Plus](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/record-and-spy/webui-record-and-spy-utilities/katalon-web-recorder-plus) and [Smart Locator](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/test-objects/web-test-objects/selection-methods-for-web-objects#smart-locator), which are also reliable, so maybe you can try using these combined with your custom XPath. > > > > Hope that this would help 😊 > **7.

Hello. I am currently using the trial version of Katalon Studio for evaluating the product.

Hi, Thank you for your response. I had a call with Nicole Nguyen \<[huyen.tnguyen@katalon.com](mailto:huyen.tnguyen@katalon.com)\> on July 1, and did a demo of my recording where certain items did not work with Katalon. She took screenshots and was going to get back to me, but it has been 2 weeks now. Let me know if I need to demo to someone else or need to screen share so they can assist and see what can be the solution. My trial period ends in 3 days and I need to make a decision if this tool will be feasible. Following are items she was to follow-up on, per the call on 7/1: 1. State List Verification - failed at a drop-down list item, per my demo. How to make it work and optimize performance? 2. Verify Element text of a non-editable text field failed, even though it was recorded correctly. What is the solution? 3. How to verify the active/inactive toggle button image change? It is not really an imagem but the toggle and color changes. Thanks, Tasmia ---
