Katalon, the global leader in AI-augmented software testing, today announced the official launch of Katalon Scout, an AI Quality Companion designed for the vibe coding era. Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS)’s Agentic AI technologies, Scout enables enterprises to ensure quality at the speed of generative AI development, helping teams build, validate, and deliver software with confidence and precision.
The rise of vibe coding, a new paradigm where developers collaborate with AI through natural language, creativity, and intuition, has transformed software creation. As tools like Amazon Q Developer accelerate code generation, maintaining enterprise-grade reliability becomes critical. Scout embeds intelligent validation directly into the development workflow, ensuring quality scales seamlessly with innovation.
“AI is unlocking incredible creativity and productivity for developers,” said Huy Tieu, Product Owner of Scout, Katalon. “But to truly harness this momentum, quality needs to move at the same speed as innovation. Scout, built on AWS’s Agentic AI services, is the intelligent quality companion that ensures every AI-driven workflow stays reliable and production-ready.”
Scout autonomously explores applications, understands context, and identifies potential issues that may otherwise go unnoticed. Unlike static automation scripts, Scout applies agentic reasoning to dynamically interact with applications, detect issues, and propose optimizations, empowering QA teams to scale test coverage without adding complexity.
Key benefits of Scout
– Test at the Speed of AI Development: Autonomously explore and validate applications in minutes, not days, with Traffic Light Reports providing instant quality insights.
– Catch Issues Before They Reach Users: Evolution Tracking monitors changes across builds and AI Fix Prompts provide targeted remediation suggestions to close quality gaps faster.
– Seamless Integration: Compatible with vibe coding platforms like Replit, Lovable, Kiro, and Amazon Q Developer, Scout fits naturally into modern DevOps workflows via CLI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, no vendor lock-in, no disruption.
Powered by Amazon Nova Act (Science Preview) and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Scout reduced test durations by up to 60% in benchmark trials, saving teams approximately 25 hours per sprint while improving accuracy and coverage.
Kirsten Gilbertson, Head of Partner Management, ASEAN, AWS, said: “As software development accelerates with Gen AI, maintaining code quality becomes increasingly critical. We are proud to see AWS’s latest Agentic AI technologies being applied to build Katalon Scout. This collaboration showcases the potential of AWS AI services to empower partners like Katalon to create breakthrough innovations that redefine how developers and enterprises build and test software.”
Scout joins Katalon’s end-to-end AI-augmented testing platform, which also includes TrueTest, Studio, TestOps, and TestCloud—bringing automation, analytics, and orchestration together in one integrated environment.
