Tips to speed up test executions in Katalon Studio

Slow test executions can quickly become a blocker in any automation workflow. As projects grow, tests often take longer than expected, sometimes because of UI complexity, sometimes because of unstable locators, and other times due to unnecessary delays, heavy logging, or choosing the wrong type of test for the task. These issues accumulate silently and gradually affect productivity, CI performance, and team velocity.

This course is designed to help you understand why test executions slow down and introduce practical solutions and best practices you can apply to improve execution speed in Katalon Studio.

In six chapters, you will learn about:

• How execution logs reveal performance bottlenecks
• Execution techniques such as headless mode and parallel running that reduce overhead
• Locator strategies that minimize test failures due to broken test objects
• Dynamic waiting approaches that eliminate unnecessary delays
• Logging and integration settings that influence execution time
• When to use UI tests and when API tests offer a faster, more efficient alternative

By the end of this course, you will understand the main contributors to slow execution and know the best practices that help make your test runs faster, more efficient, and more reliable in Katalon Studio.
