Why Katalon Recorder?

Unlike Selenium IDE, the recording capability of Katalon Recorder is powerful on major web browsers: Chrome, Firefox, and IE. This extension was the champion project of the Katalon Studio Hackathons contest. Katalon Automation Recorder was developed to support users who no longer be able to record and playback automation tests using the old-fashioned Selenium IDE or users of popular open source frameworks looking for a handy recorder. Katalon Recorder can be integrated with other Katalon solutions (Katalon Studio and Katalon TestOps) for advanced test generation, reporting, and test orchestration needs.
