New in Katalon True Platform: AI that knows your app (and flags when sources disagree)

New in Katalon True Platform this month: Katalon AI Knowledge Base + Conflict Check: Knowledge base for project docs and glossary Linked Jira issues as extra context Conflict check across sources, with no edits made What feature should we ship next? Drop it in the comments.

Test case versioning is here: draft, publish, roll back

New in Katalon True Platform this month: Test Case Versioning:✦ Draft and published versions of each test case✦ Reviewable, reversible version history✦ Version selection when building a test run✦ Test runs record the exact version that executed Give it a test, then tell us what feature we should ship next in the comments.

Convert Manual Test Cases to Automation Without Starting From Scratch

Your manual test library is more than documentation. It contains years of decisions about what your product should do, and how to tell when it doesn't. That knowledge is a valuable starting point for automation, not something you should have to recreate from scratch. The clearest example came up in a customer conversation. The head of quality at a fast-growing fintech told me his company pays an outside firm to run its manual regression, with a bill for every test executed.

Digital Front Door Strategy: A Framework for Health Systems

‍ A digital front door strategy coordinates patient access, engagement, and supporting health system workflows. It connects provider search, scheduling, registration, payments, and follow-up through integrated digital services. Effective digital front door (DFD) implementation requires EHR integration, accessible interfaces, secure data exchange, and clear operational ownership.

Digital Front Door Platforms: Key Features and How to Evaluate Them

‍ A digital front door platform connects patient-facing services with clinical and administrative workflows. Capabilities can include appointment scheduling, digital intake, patient communication, insurance verification, and payments. Coverage varies by vendor, product configuration, and supported electronic health record (EHR) integrations. Evaluating a digital front door (DFD) solution should cover complete workflows, integration depth, usability, security, and total operating costs.

Katalon AI for Software Testing: Agent Actions and Evidence

In one release test, my AI agent triaged 43 backlog items into 134 executable cases in Katalon True Platform. The first pass at the steps caused trouble. We had bundled setup, navigation, action, and judgment into long instructions. The runner returned verdicts, but a failed step left me unsure which expectation it had checked. We split the cases into one action and one checkable expected result per step. The failures became specific enough to review against the screenshots and session recording.

AI Test Case Generation From Testable Requirements

“Customers can apply a discount code” looks ready for testing. Give that sentence to an AI model and it can produce cases for valid, invalid, expired, and reused codes in seconds. The trouble starts when someone asks what a valid code should do. Which basket is eligible? Does the discount change the displayed total before or after tax? Should the saved order carry the same amount?

Best Unreal Engine Version Control? Benchmarking Perforce P4, Lore, and More

As part of my work, I regularly consult with teams comparing Unreal Engine version control performance and weighing whether Perforce P4 is the right fit for their projects. Based on these conversations, I decided to develop a repeatable framework that others can use to objectively benchmark P4 against other version control systems.
