CAT 1.13.0

This release contains small enhancements for CAT Studio.

You don’t need to upgrade CAT PowerShell / CAT CLI; there are new features only in CAT Studio.

Run only selected tests

The most requested feature for the CAT Studio was the ability to run only selected tests. Now it is possible:

CAT tests, 2 passed, 1 failed, the remaining not executed yet

Hold the Ctrl key to select more tests, the Shift key to select range of tests, or Ctrl+A to select all visible tests. Then just hit the Run Selected Tests button.

Please note the number of passed and failed tests shows the results from the latest run.

Queries enhancements

In the CAT Studio, you can also run ad hoc queries against your data sources - whether those are CSV files, data in Power BI workspaces, Databricks delta tables or anything else - you can just run your ad hoc queries to troubleshoot your tests.

In this release:

  • When an error occurs (such as incorrect syntax), the exception message is visible.

  • CAT returns the number of rows returned (for successful queries only)

  • You can clearly tell whether your query is still running or has finished already.

  • When a query does not return any rows, the grid with column names is displayed regardless.

Query with syntax error, with exception shown


CAT Studio has our full attention now; you can expect bigger updates in the near future. Please also remember CAT Studio is still in a preview phase and lots of things may change.

That’s it :-). Happy testing!
