Frequent Asked Questions

Note: This page reflects a generalized view based on publicly available information and customer feedback. Always validate against your specific needs.
Is Virtuoso QA a one‑for‑one replacement for Katalon?
No. Katalon provides a mixed low‑/no‑code + scripting approach. Virtuoso is an AI‑native authoring and execution platform designed to reduce authoring and maintenance effort while integrating with your CI/CD.
Can manual testers be productive quickly?
Yes. Plain‑English authoring and Live Authoring reduce ramp time while increasing confidence.
How does self‑healing work?
The platform adapts to routine UI changes (labels, positions) to keep tests resilient and reduce false failures.
Do we need to re‑author everything to switch?
No. Start with high‑value flows using GENerator to convert existing assets; expand from there with a guided migration playbook.
