To install, set up, and use GitHub for saving/sharing Katalon test cases and test suites, follow these step-by-step tutorials:

1. Git & GitHub Basics (Start Here if New to Git)

2. Integrate GitHub with Katalon Studio

  • Katalon Git Integration Guide:
    Version Control with Git in Katalon Studio.
    • Set up a local Git repository in your Katalon project.
    • Push to GitHub via Katalon’s built-in Git tools.
  • Key Steps:
    1. In Katalon, go to Project > Git > Initialize Git Repository.
    2. Commit your tests (Test Cases, Test Suites, Objects).
    3. Link to a GitHub remote repository:
git remote add origin https://github.com/your-username/your-repo.git
  1. Push via Katalon’s Git > Push or use GitHub Desktop.

3. Share Test Cases/Suites via GitHub

  • Structure Your Katalon Project:
    • Include critical folders in Git:
/Test Cases  
/Test Suites  
/Object Repository  
/Scripts  
/Keywords
  • Exclude temporary files by adding a .gitignore file (example).
  • Collaborate:
    • Invite team members as collaborators in GitHub repo Settings > Collaborators.
    • Use branches for parallel work:
git checkout -b feature/new-test-suite

4. Advanced: GitHub Actions for CI/CD

name: Run Katalon Tests
on: [push]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Run Katalon Tests
        uses: katalon-studio/katalon-gh-action@v1.2.0
        with:
          api-key: ${{ secrets.KATALON_API_KEY }}
          project-path: ./your-katalon-project

5. Best Practices for Test Automation Repos

  • Commit Messages: Use prefixes like [TEST], [FIX], or [FEATURE].
  • README.md: Document how to run tests, dependencies, and setup.
  • GitHub Issues: Track bugs/test failures. Use labels like automation or regression.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Merge Conflicts in Katalon:
    Resolve conflicts in .prj or .testcase files manually.
  • Large Files: Use Git LFS for test data/videos.

Recommended Learning Path

  1. Complete GitHub’s First Day on GitHub.
  2. Integrate Git into Katalon using their official guide.
  3. Practice branching/merging with Git Branching Simulator.

By following these resources, you’ll efficiently version-control and share Katalon tests via GitHub
