Configure a Git repository in TestOps

Katalon Platform supports connecting a Git repository to Katalon TestOps. This allows you to perform version control on test cases and test suites between different modules in Katalon Platform.

Katalon supports AWS CodeCommit, Azure Repos, Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab integration for Git repositories.

Note that this is a prerequisite step for scheduling or executing a test. Alternatively, you could also upload your own script repository.

This article demonstrates how to configure a Git repository in Katalon TestOps.

Configure a Git repository in TestOps

• You have an existing test project in Azure Repos / Bitbucket / GitHub / GitLab / AWS CodeCommit.

To can configure your Git repository from TestOps Script Repositories page within Settings. For a step-by-step breakdown, see below.

1. Go to your TestOps project and click Settings.
2. Click Script Repositories > Connect Git Repository. Then click Create a new Git repository.
   
3. In the Source Type dropdown list, choose one of the following source types:
   • Azure Repos
   • Bitbucket
   • GitHub
   • GitLab
   • AWS CodeCommit. When you select the AWS CodeCommit option, the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key fields are enabled.

5. In the Username field, enter your Azure Repos / Bitbucket / GitHub / GitLab / AWS CodeCommit username.
6. In the Personal Access Token field, enter your personal access token (PAT). To create a PAT, you can refer to the following documents:
   • For Azure Repos, see this Microsoft document: Use personal access tokens.

   • For Bitbucket, refer to this Atlassian document: Create an App password.

   • For GitHub, see this GitHub document: Creating a personal access token. Make sure you opt to create a classic PAT, and select repo scope to set permission scopes for the PAT.

   • For GitLab, refer to this GitLab document: Personal access tokens.

   • For AWS CodeCommit, to create username and PAT for Git credentials, refer to this AWS document: Step 3: Create Git credentials for HTTPS connections to CodeCommit.

7. In the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key fields, enter your access key ID and secret access key in AWS CodeCommit. To retrieve the access key ID and secret access key, you can refer to this AWS document: Manage access keys for IAM.
8. Optional: You can choose Link existing test execution results with test cases having the same paths and names. This option allows TestOps to attach existing test run results to the uploaded test cases and test suites that has the same paths and names.
   For example:

   • You have an existing test run results from the Login test case in the Test Cases/Common Test Cases folder. By default, if this test case is not from an uploaded Git test project, its test results are in the Uploaded Data folder in the Test Management tab.

   • You upload a Git repository that also has a Login test case in the Test Cases/Common Test Cases folder.

   • You check the Link existing test execution results with test cases having the same paths and names option.

   • Once the Git repository is connected successfully, in the Test Management tab, you can see the existing test results of the Login test case in the <your-git-repo-name>/Test Cases/Common Test Cases folder.
