Hello Catalyst Community!
We've officially stepped into 2022 now, and we at Catalyst have brought about some brand new features you can begin your year with. Here are the product updates for January 2022:
New Features
1. Automation Testing
We are thrilled to introduce Catalyst Automation Testing- an API testing tool that automates the testing process of all the APIs in your Catalyst application. Automation Testing enables you to test all the accessible end points of your application, i.e., the Basic I/O and Advanced I/O functions, and any third-party URL that you need to, and obtain real-time responses, analytics, and detailed reports. This allows you to analyze the root causes of failure in your APIs and resolve issues faster.
You can write test cases based on your requirements, schedule automated tests, and manage the entire process of API testing with minimal manual intervention and without having to configure elaborate backend setups. You can also trigger the execution of configured test plans through an API.

Catalyst now provides custom plugins for Angular and React clients, enabling you to create web client apps in those platforms in a much easier way. You will be able to initialize or set up the web client in your project as an Angular app, React app, or the basic web app which was available earlier, using the CLI.
These Catalyst plugins handle all the background operations involved in the development and testing of the Angular and React apps. You can now simply incorporate these ready-to-use templates in your app, and focus on the application functionality instead of its setup and maintenance. You can test and deploy Angular and React apps in the CLI, similar to the other components of your project.
