Hey Katalon Community,
We’re excited to announce a significant enhancement to Katalon Studio: StudioAssist’s new Agent Mode ! This update transforms your AI assistant from a static suggestion tool into an active, context-aware testing partner that can directly interact with your projects. This is a major step toward AI-assisted test engineering .
Why Agent Mode Matters for You
Previously, StudioAssist could only advise, but now it can act on your project . By supporting MCP Servers (HTTP-based services), Agent Mode connects your local project, official Katalon documentation, and external data sources into one intelligent workflow.
This means less time switching tabs, digging through documentation, or manually rewriting test cases.
Key Capabilities Powered by MCP Servers
Katalon ships with two built-in MCP Servers to ensure trustworthiness and accuracy:
-
Katalon Docs MCP Server: Pulls verified answers from official Katalon documentation , ensuring every suggestion is accurate, current, and trustworthy.
-
Katalon Studio MCP Server: Allows StudioAssist to create, edit, and manage test cases, test objects, and custom keywords directly inside your project.
6 Hands-On Use Cases That Will Change Your Workflow
The new Agent Mode helps you build, fix, and optimize your tests faster and smarter . Here are six ways you can immediately leverage this new intelligence:
• 1. Get the latest updates from Katalon Docs: Stay synchronized with the newest Katalon capabilities right inside your IDE.
• 2. Create a new test case: Automatically generate complete test cases (steps, objects, and structure) to skip repetitive setup and eliminate manual errors.
• 3. Update existing test cases: Refine or extend existing tests precisely, as Agent Mode understands your project context and logic.
• 4. Troubleshoot and fix issues: Instantly diagnose failed tests with AI-driven insights and verified fixes, potentially saving hours of debugging time.
• 5. Plan your test strategy: Connect to external MCP Servers to analyze coverage and develop more efficient automation strategies.
• 6. Identify duplicated test cases: Automatically detect overlapping or redundant tests before they bloat your project, helping to keep your repository lean.
