Introduction

As we are moving forward with the Katalon blogs, next in this line is integrating Katalon TestOps with Katalon Studio. We are already familiar with the Katalon Studio. Let us see a bit about it firstly. 

One of the well-known tools for automated testing is Katalon Studio. Katalon deserves debate alongside Selenium, Ranorex, TestComplete, and Apache JMeter as more and more testing engineers opt for it. The platform makes it possible to create analytical reports, record tests, and run automated tests for Windows desktop, iOS, Android mobile apps, Web interfaces, APIs, desktop, and desktop Windows apps.

Integrate Katalon TestOps

As major worldwide organisations try to employ AI/ML to fine-tune and optimise their quality process, Katalon's toolkit may scale up to small teams in the early phases of their automation journeys.

Several tools, including Katalon Studio, Katalon Studio Enterprise, Katalon Runtime Engine, Katalon TestCloud, Katalon TestOps, and Katalon Recorder, are offered by the Katalon platform. Here in this blog, we will see how to integrate TestOps with Katalon Studio.

Use and Generation of Katalon API Keys in Katalon Studio

There are many API keys generated from Katalon Studio. Every other API key has many uses. In this section of the blog, we will see what are the basic uses of API keys in Katalon Studio and also how to generate the API keys. 

The advantage of generating API keys in Katalon are following:

  1. You can install plugins in console mode from the Katalon Store.
     
  2. You can connect Katalon TestOps and Katalon Studio in console mode.
     
  3. You can also create a test environment with Circle Continuous Integration (CircleCI), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), or Local Agent by using API Keys to represent your credentials when integrating Katalon TestOps with other platforms like Jira and Jenkins.
     

Katalon Install Plugin

There are two command line options which are accepted by the Katalon Studio. 

  • First one is: 
-apiKey=<Your_API_Key>

 

  • And the second one is: 
-apikey=<Your_API_Key>


Both commands can be found in the command builder. 

Now we will see how to generate the Katalon API keys. The generation of these keys is very easy. You just need to go to the Katalon TestOps area for Katalon API Keys. Also to use or remove any API keys, you need to navigate to the same section of the Katalon Studio. API keys can be viewed in the command builder section.

Integrate Katalon TestOps with Katalon Studio

Before moving forward with the topic: integrate Katalon TestOps with Katalon Studio, firstly we will see what exactly Katalon TestOps is. 

Katalon TestOps

With the aid of cognitive analytics and continuous test execution, Katalon TestOps is a collection of cloud-based services that may be used to streamline software quality. 

  • TestOps Center: Katalon Studio, JUnit, TestNG, and Jira are just a few of the sources of quality data that may be connected and gathered through the TestOps Center. You can keep an eye on and enable analytics for your projects using TestOps Center.
     
  • TestOps CI: Using Kubernetes, CircleCI, and TestOps CI, you can manage test environments and schedule remote executions on local workstations. Its deployment and configuration are made simple so that QAs can concentrate on testing tasks.
     
  • TestOps Reports: offer comprehensive views and dynamic perspectives on your automated testing operations.
     
  • TestOps Vision is a visual-based testing tool that uses AI to quickly find new GUI bugs in application code.


To send test results to Katalon TestOps for system testing and reports, you can setup TestOps integration in Katalon Studio.

Remote execution with TestOps

✴️Test management, test planning, and test execution are its main parts. With testing frameworks, CI/CD tools, and other Katalon products, it integrates without any issues.

 

✴️Strong reporting and analytics capabilities are included in Katalon TestOps. 

 

✴️By generating real-time test reports and enabling users to keep an eye on test quality, coverage, flakiness, etc.

 

✴️The tool offers insights into the testing processes. The most important components can be highlighted by ranking the testing regions. Test results are shown as specific KPIs on dashboards, and all execution patterns are documented in photos and videos.
