From version 8.5.0 onwards, Katalon Studio has two editions: Katalon Studio - Standalone Edition and Katalon Studio - Platform Edition.
With the Standalone edition, you can store projects on your local system, which is suitable if your team wants to host all your testing infrastructure locally.
The Katalon Studio Platform edition, on the other hand, is seamlessly integrated with the Katalon Platform and Git. It allows you to easily leverage the available cloud resources to streamline your testing processes.
And to open a project in the Katalon Studio Platform edition, you first have to integrate the Git repository containing your testing project with the Katalon Platform.
How to create your first project in Katalon Platform
We published a new course in Katalon Academy to help users understand the new Katalon Platform and open their first project in Katalon Studio Platform Edition.
