I used Katalon for web testing for 1 month. But today I'm not seeing the debug run button.
I look it up on the internet but they say that I have to buy a licence.
Is there any way to do it for free?
I used to use Katalon Log Viewer for debuging my Custom Keyword by using following method:
com.kms.katalon.core.util.KeywordUtil.logInfo()
Hope it will help you.
You were probably using the one-month free trial version of Katalon Studio Enterprise (KSE).
If you are not planning to buy the license, you can still use the regular Katalon Studio (KS).
Both Katalon Studio (KS) and Katalon Studio Enterprise (KSE) are two offerings of the Katalon Studio software. KS is the free offering for basic and individual use. KSE is the paid license for teams and professionals to implement on scalable projects.

I want to implement Team Foundation Server (now known as Azure DevOps Server) for source control and issue tracking. I have only used the on-premises solution previously. For this particular use case, it would be beneficial to have it hosted in the cloud.
I have deployed a VSTS/Azure DevOps Services cloud solution (as opposed to an on-premises TFS/Azure DevOps Server solution), and it seems to have all of the functionality I am used to with the web portal, except there seems to be no direct integration/plugin for Visual Studio.
I can connect Team Explorer to it and query the work items for a basic listing (as shown in the screenshot below) - but if I double click a work item, or if I click New Work Item, it opens in the web browser, not within Visual Studio.
Is this expected behaviour for VSTS/DevOps Services? Do I need an on-premises installation just to get Visual Studio integration or am I missing something? I would like to use their cloud solution as it has a lot of benefits for this particular use-case.
Which opens this:
Instead of this (below screenshot taken from the web):
Any help is much appreciated! I am hoping to get something up and running ASAP, and would rather not have to install & configure a full on-premises solution in the cloud myself. Letting Microsoft handle it is perfect.
It seems odd that there's no Visual Studio support/integration. I have tried on 2 different machines. I have connected one machine which is running Visual Studio 2017 Professional and the other has VS 2019 Professional. Both open and create work items in the web browser instead of within VS. But VSTS/DevOps Services does seem to have all of the other features of TFS/DevOps Server, as far as I can see.
The web portal is great for other stakeholders, but as a developer I like working directly within Visual Studio. In an on-premises installation you get both. Is there any way to do this on a cloud installation?
We need set the Work Items experience in Visual Studio, then we can create new work item in the visual studio.
Steps:
Tools->work items->General->change the option Landing page.
Result:
Can I mock/virtualize web services using Katalon Studio like WireMock or CA DevTest or Soap UI? If so, how can I do it , I didn’t find it on their site.
This feature is not yet available in Katalon Studio, but it is planned in the 2018 roadmap.

My question is about the minimal level of a Visual Studio Subscription that is eligible for Visual Studio Team Services. From what I understand you need a Visual Studio Subscription (previously MSDN Subscription) to be able to access VSTS online but someone told me you need the full Enterprise subscription, which I find a bit hard to believe. Is this really true or can you access it with a Professional as well?
You do not need any Visual Studio Subscription to use VSTS: it's free for five users independent of any Visual Studio Subscription.
Beyond the first five users, you can purchase individual per-user licenses.
A license is also included with Visual Studio subscriptions. So if you have a Visual Studio Professional Subscription, that will enable the standard features of VSTS.
There are additional features enabled to Visual Studio Enterprise subscribers:
Private pipelines
Package management
Test manager
But all other features are available to the free and Visual Studio Professional subscribers.
VSTS is free of cost initially for 5 user's, called Basic User Access.
In detail, VSTS provides with 5 Basic user access, unlimited Visual studio subscriber access and on top of it all other's[Non-Visual studio Subscribers] get restricted to Stakeholder access [No access to code].

If you're not looking to develop in VS, but another IDE, you can also just buy the User CAL for Basic code access https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms.vss-vstsuser
I'm trying to set up a basic setup for Visual Studio online. I'm interested in two features: Version control (which I have working) and simple ticketing with assignment (think Bugzilla). I'm a company of 1. I don't need to overcomplicate the process with an unnecessary approval processes, team boards, etc. at this stage. I just need a way of tracking features and bugs in a KISS manner. How would I set this up?
Visual Studio Online is now Visual Studio Team Services, and some links have changed too. Here's the latest docs:
Step 1: Sign up for Team Services
Step 2: Connect to Team Services to share code in Git or TFVC from Visual Studio, Eclipse, or Xcode
Step 3: Create your backlog
I would suggest all the close votes are because you haven't told us what you've tried so far or why the defaults don't work for you.
I'll make it really easy:
Step 1. Create an account at https://www.visualstudio.com/en-au/products/what-is-visual-studio-online-vs
Step 2. Read and follow the instructions at https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/get-started/setup/connect-to-visual-studio-online-vs
Step 3. Read https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/get-started/work/create-your-backlog-vs and manage your work (features and bugs) as instructed. Ignore the Portfolio backlog stuff since you don't need it.
Is it possible to publish bug reports directly to Visual Studio Online without having a Visual Studio Online account?
My idea would be that, when a crash of the application happens, the "fail" screen shows an option to send the bug report. I would like this bug report to be automatically added to Visual Studio Online.
I can't seem to find a good up-to-date information about APIs for Visual Studio Online.
I'm also a bit lost about what a "user" of Visual Studio Online is. Is there a way to create "a work-item only user"? In the "standard" TFS those users usually don't need a CAL to access TFS.
If not, it means that all my app testers will use a license for Visual Studio Online, meaning that after the 5 free users, I'll have to pay ~40 USD for someone who will just input bugs/work items?
Each user who needs to login to a Visual Studio Online account will need to have a user plan associated to them (including the free Basic plan allotments) or an MSDN subscription to access the account. We don't have the ability to have anonymous users login to a Visual Studio Online account (or for Team Foundation Server either).
You are right that there is a difference today between Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Online which allows a "work item only view" on-premises that isn't matched in Visual Studio Online. That access level is called Limited for TFS on-premises instead of Standard. The Standard access level does require a TFS CAL. It's something we are currently exploring now.
Update
Visual Studio Online (and Team Foundation Server Update 4) now allows an unlimited number of stakeholders to have full access to work item tracking for free. This stakeholder license replaces and expands the original Work Item Only View capabilities.
For your testers, the best option for them would actually be Visual Studio Test Professional with MSDN or the new MSDN Platforms offering. This provides them the ability to access Microsoft Test Manager (in the first case) and the web test case management capabilities (in both cases) and allows you to file rich actionable bugs reports.
Update
Visual Studio Online has also been updated to provide the ability to execute test cases as part of the Basic license now. This will be most useful for user acceptance testers who aren't participating in test planning & test authoring but have been assigned a set of test cases to execute.
For your question about up-to-date API information for Visual Studio Online - it is the same documentation as the the TFS SDK at the moment. You can use the TFS SDK to build extensions for both Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Online.
