Local Test Environments

Agents manage local servers for executing the scheduled tests in TestOps CI. Katalon supports agents that are compatible with different execution environments.

Agents are shared among members and projects within a team.

Set up an agent

Step 1: Download an agent

In Katalon TestOps, go to your project and select TestOps CI > Agent Setup.

Select your compatible OS to download an agent and unzip the downloaded package.

Step 2: Configure an agent

Enter the required information:

  • Agent Name: It's recommended to give a meaningful name for distinguishing agents.

  • API Key: Use an existing API key or create a new one on your Profile page.

    You may edit the agent configuration file later on your local machine.

    In case there is a file with different name, please make sure you have updated the file name to agentconfig.

Step 3: Generate agent config

After having the agent downloaded and configured,

  • navigate to the directory containing that file (E.g.: cd Desktop); then
  • copy the command that was automatically generated in Agent Setup page and paste to your CLI.

Step 4: Start an agent

Copy the command that was automatically generated in Agent Setup page and copy to your CLI.

It may take a while for the agent to start.

Step 5: Create a new plan

After the agent starts succesfully, navigate to Test Environments and create a sample plan.

View agent status

You can check the Agent status by going to Test Environments in TestOps CI.

You can delete an agent anytime by clicking on the recycle bin icon.

Please note that this action cannot be undone.

Authentication with Katalon TestOps

Agents will use serverUrl and apikey in agentconfig for:

  • Activating Katalon Runtime Engine used for test execution.
  • Sending test results to Katalon TestOps.

Proxy settings for agent

You can set up proxy for agent in the agentconfig file with the proxy option.

For example, proxy=http://localhost:8080.
