Q: How could I run executions on TestOps agents using Katalon Runtime Engine?

A: The steps to meet this requirement are similar to the ones for test runs with TestCloud environments:

  1. Upload your tests to a Git repository - Work with Git in Katalon Studio | Katalon Docs

  2. Integrate Git with the Katalon Platform (TestOps) - Upload test scripts from the Git repository to TestOps | Katalon Docs

  3. Set up an agent - Create a local test environment with an Agent | Katalon Docs

  4. Go to Test Execution > Schedule Test Run

  5. Choose your tests > Choose Local Test Environment for Where to run > Select the agent.

  6. Click on the Schedule or Run button
