Belitsoft’s Guide to Avoiding Katalon Regression Testing Nightmares
Regression automated testing means running the same tests over and over to make sure old features still work after recent changes. On the surface, Katalon seems built for this: it lets you record user actions (clicks, form fills, navigation) and replay them automatically. Once a test scenario is recorded, you can re-run it any time to check for breakage. As one SoftwareAdvice review puts it: “test cases can be created easily using the visual interface.” Sounds perfect for teams without QA automation engineers, or at least, that’s the promise. But then reality hits.

Belitsoft's .NET Performance Testing Blueprint
Performance issues in .NET applications rarely happen by accident — they’re often the result of untested assumptions about how the system will behave when traffic spikes. Without structured performance testing, those bottlenecks and failures usually show up in production, where fixes are costly and time-sensitive. This guide details established techniques for planning, automating, and integrating performance tests into your delivery pipeline. This will allow you to release .NET applications with the assurance that they can reliably scale before customers encounter problems.

.NET Migration Strategy: Skip .NET Core — Go Straight to .NET 8/10
Don’t move your .NET Framework apps to .NET Core (the latest version, 3.1, has not been supported since 2022). Go straight to .NET 8 / ASP.NET Core 8 now, and plan to shift to .NET 10 (long-term support) when it’s released in November 2025. It is the direct successor to .NET Core and includes all its capabilities plus much more. Even though the new runtime is now just ".NET", the web framework is still officially named ASP.NET Core for all its versions. So, if you have ASP.NET Framework web apps, you must port them to ASP.NET Core on .NET 8/10 too. All modern .NET versions will support only ASP.NET Core, not the old ASP.NET Framework. You don’t have to treat "migrate to .NET" and "migrate to ASP.NET Core" as two completely independent projects. However, it’s often safer (and easier) to break the work into two phases: first, move your shared code onto the new ".NET" runtime and, second, migrate your ASP.NET Framework web app to ASP.NET Core.
