Katalon vs Fitnesse

SchubertJ

Does anyone have any experience with using Katalon for automated testing in Appian?  We are just beginning our first Appian implementation, and as an enterprise, we are using Katalon already for all other technologies and exploring whether or not it is necessary/beneficial to add Fitnesse into our testing tool stack.  Is there anything that we would be missing that Fitnesse can provide that Katalon cannot?  Not really looking for a head to head comparison, but merely any hard shortcomings that would make Fitnesse being a necessity. 

 

Thanks,

    See the playbook play for Automated Testing with FitNesse for Appian.

    How does Katalon measure up in in the following areas:...?

    FitNesse for Appian provides an Appian-specific wiki language within FitNesse that maps directly to actions that can be performed in Appian, such as:

    • Navigating the interface (News, Tasks, Records, Reports, Actions)
    • Starting actions and completing tasks
    • Validating content on record views or in news events
    • And much more... the complete list is available directly within the tool!

    FitNesse for Appian provides benefits over other UI testing tools including:

    • Test your Appian application within minutes of downloading the tool
    • Methods created specifically to operate within Appian applications and Tempo
    • Test scripts do not need to be updated for upgrades to supported Appian versions
    • Test scripts are written in a wiki language are easily human readable
    • Appian design knowledge is not required to create test scripts
    • Common case scenarios can be created for reusability throughout test suites
    • Isolate test steps into scenarios to perform Spec by Example tests
    • Test scripts are easily updated for new UI changes to a form or interface
