Frequently Asked Questions

Can I perform parallel test execution in Jira Integration with Katalon?

With Jira Integration in Katalon, you can perform parallel test execution and enhance continuous testing for a quicker and more productive test cycle. The load-balancing of Test Runs happens automatically during parallel execution. It results in a Test Run being distributed to a ready-to-use local test environment each time it is launched, reducing the execution time.

Why is BDD Testing important for development?

BDD strongly emphasises designing code that solves actual problems and developing functionality based on user experiences. BDD testing involves checking the features' functionality and the initial behaviours for which they were designed. High test coverage is encouraged by BDD, which supports writing tests first.
