Do I need to complete other Katalon Certifications first?

No. The AI-Empowered Practitioner Certification is standalone. You can take it with or without completing the other certifications.

What are the benefits of AI in software testing?

AI helps testers work faster and more efficiently by reducing repetitive tasks, minimizing errors, and improving test stability. It can generate test scripts and data from natural-language descriptions, assist in understanding complex code, and even help troubleshoot issues. For teams, this means less time spent on maintenance and more focus on high-value testing activities.

How to use AI in software testing and test automation?

There are several ways to bring AI into your testing workflows. Some teams build and integrate AI models themselves. For example, they use machine learning to prioritize tests or detect patterns in failures. Others use AI libraries or APIs to generate test data, analyze logs, or support decision-making in large-scale test environments.

But if you want a quicker way to get started, you can use a test automation tool that already has AI features built in. For example, Katalon Studio Enterprise includes AI capabilities that help you generate test scripts, explain complex code, auto-heal broken locators, and troubleshoot issues, without needing to build anything from scratch. Just install and start using it.

Does Katalon use AI?

Yes, Katalon embedded AI across the entire platform to test faster, see clearer, and streamline test automation with fewer bottlenecks. AI solutions include StudioAssist in Katalon Studio, Virtual Data Analyst, TrueTest, and Manual test case generation. You can find more details here:

How to enable AI in Katalon Studio?

To enable AI in Katalon Studio, which allows you to use StudioAssist, you can choose between using Katalon AI Service or using your own OpenAI or Azure OpenAI API keys. You can find more details in this documentation.

Are there available AI testing courses on Katalon Academy?
