ATLANTA, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Katalon, a leading provider of quality engineering and software testing solutions, announced that Katalon TestOps has earned G2 Leader Badges in the Test Management tools for Fall 2026. The recognition marks an important milestone in the company's continued evolution to help teams increase their testing capacity as the volume of code generated by AI coding agents increases exponentially.

The recognition comes six months after Katalon introduced its latest generation of quality engineering capabilities, marking progress in the company's broader approach to software quality through Katalon True, the AI platform for software quality.

For years, Katalon has been recognized for its enterprise test automation capabilities, with Katalon Studio helping teams build and execute automated tests. Today, Katalon builds on that foundation through Katalon TestOps, bringing together test management, manual testing, automated testing and AI agents to help every tester deliver better software across the quality engineering journey.

From Test Automation to End-to-End Quality Engineering

Katalon established its position in enterprise software testing by helping organizations automate testing across web, API, mobile, and desktop applications through Katalon Studio and Katalon TestCloud.

As AI coding agents accelerate software development, expectations placed on testing teams continue to rise. Organizations need to deliver software faster while maintaining quality across increasingly complex applications, technologies, and development environments. To meet that demand, Katalon has expanded beyond test automation with Katalon TestOps, a single system of record for manual, automated and AI-generated testing across the software lifecycle.

This approach is built around flexibility. Katalon supports testers using different technologies and frameworks, including established frameworks such as Selenium and modern ones such as Playwright. Rather than requiring teams to adopt a single testing methodology, Katalon helps organizations bring their existing testing practices together while gaining greater visibility, management, automation, and intelligence.

"G2 recognition comes from the people who use our products every day, which makes it the kind that matters most to us. Test management is where a quality practice either scales or breaks down. Teams have manual testers, Selenium and Playwright suites, and now AI agents all producing tests and results. They need one place to plan that work, track it and act on it. And AI needs proper context through a system of record for quality in the software lifecycle. This badge tells us customers are finding that in Katalon." said Alex Martins, VP & Head of Product Marketing, Katalon.

G2 Recognition Reflects Customer Momentum

Katalon's G2 Leader Badges in the Test Management category highlight the feedback and reviews shared by its users on G2. As organizations manage increasingly complex testing programs across teams, applications, and technologies, test management has become an essential part of modern quality engineering.

Katalon's recognition in this category reflects its expansion into test management. Katalon TestOps enables teams to create and organize manual and automated test cases, group them into suites, link tests to requirements, and track execution results and defects. With AI-assisted test case generation, integrations with Jira and Azure DevOps and built-in reporting and analytics, TestOps helps teams streamline testing, improve collaboration, identify coverage gaps, and make more informed release decisions.

Empowering Every Tester in the AI Era

Modern quality engineering must support all roles across the testing spectrum, including manual QA specialists, test managers, automation engineers, and quality leaders rather than relying on a single methodology or framework.

Integrating AI is central to achieving this vision. By deploying AI agents, Katalon enables teams to streamline routine tasks, boost efficiency, and focus on high-impact quality initiatives. For manual QA practitioners, AI-driven capabilities assist with key activities like test generation, execution, analysis, and reporting. Katalon's internal evaluations have shown the potential to improve manual testing performance by 70% through the support of Katalon AI agents. For automation professionals, Katalon seamlessly integrates with diverse technologies like Selenium and Playwright, allowing teams to leverage their existing skill sets while embedding their work into end-to-end quality engineering pipelines.

Ultimately, Katalon seeks to empower human testers, blending domain expertise with intelligent automation to enhance operational efficiency and drive higher software quality. This evolving role of testers is also explored in The Future of Software Testing series, a discussion series featuring perspectives from software quality practitioners and industry leaders.

Built for Enterprise Testing. Designed for Every Tester.

Katalon's evolution is built on years of helping enterprises solve complex software testing challenges, and on keeping pace as AI accelerates how fast software is built and released.

As organizations adopt more applications, technologies, and development practices, their testing environments are becoming increasingly diverse. Teams use different frameworks, testers bring different levels of technical expertise, and development organizations follow different methodologies.

Katalon TestOps is designed to bring these diverse testing practices together while allowing testers to continue working with the technologies and approaches that fit their needs. The G2 Leader recognition in Test Management is an important milestone in this journey, and a clear signal from customers that Katalon is building the right foundation for quality engineering in the AI era.
