Katalon Runtime Engine (KRE) is designed to facilitate the execution of automated tests within Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) environments. It serves as a command-line interface (CLI) agent that seamlessly integrates with Katalon Studio, allowing users to execute tests across diverse platforms and environments without the need for extensive setup or coding. KRE empowers teams to efficiently leverage their existing CI/CD tools and infrastructure for test automation at scale. KRE simplifies the process of automating test environment deployment, eliminating the complexities of setting up environments, libraries, and dependencies. It offers flexibility, catering to both small teams and large enterprises, and allows organizations to maximize resource utilization through parallel test executions. By shortening execution times, KRE enables early feedback on software quality, contributing to faster and more reliable releases. Key functionalities include the ability to perform virtually limitless parallel executions of test cases, seamless integration with popular CI/CD tools such as Azure DevOps, GitLab, and Jenkins, and effortless parallelization of test executions. KRE allows users to schedule and execute test cases in parallel, regardless of the execution environment (distributed machines or cloud service providers), thereby accelerating product releases. It also offers robust native integrations, eliminating the need for workarounds and ensuring a smooth fit into existing DevOps ecosystems.

Features

• Limitless Scalability KRE enables virtually limitless parallel test case executions, maximizing resource utilization and providing early feedback on quality through shortened execution times. It integrates with TestCloud to leverage existing cloud resources.
• Automate test executions on your CI/CD pipeline KRE allows users to manage test executions in existing cloud and CI/CD infrastructure with speed, control, flexibility and less human intervention, freeing up time for developing digital experiences.
• Native CI/CD Integration KRE integrates with CI/CD tools like Azure DevOps, GitLab, and Jenkins. Users can create commands to run test suites and pass the implementation to a CI/CD system.
• Effortlessly parallelize test executions Users can create CLI commands and use CI/CD tools to schedule and trigger automatic execution. Results are automatically uploaded to the Katalon Platform. KRE allows scheduling and executing test cases in parallel to accelerate product releases.
• Seamlessly fits into your DevOps ecosystem Robust native integrations eliminate the need for workarounds.
