GitHub
GitHub provides a comprehensive CI/CD tool that enables automated testing and deployment processes for software development projects. With GitHub Actions, developers can create workflows to build, test, and deploy code directly within their repositories.
In this document, you will learn how to integrate AgileTest with Github CI/CD tool.
Firstly, you need to acquire Client id and Client secret from AgileTest. Please refer to this document for more details Access API documentation.
Make sure your account has permission to create TestCase and TestExecution issues; otherwise, the import will fail.
Setup your GitHub repository
Go to your Github repository → Settings → Secrets and variables. On Secrets tab, add 2 secrets named CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET and assign them with the values of client id and client secret which you have acquired from AgileTest.

Action secrets
Similarly, on Variables tab, add one and name it PROJECT_KEY. This variable would be used to indicate which project AgileTest will create the new Test execution into.
Similarly, on Variables tab, add three variables as follows
Variable | Description | Value |
---|---|---|
AGILETEST_AUTH_BASE_URL | Base URL used for requesting authenticating token | https://agiletest.atlas.devsamurai.com |
AGILETEST_BASE_URL | Base URL to submit your report to | https://api.agiletest.app |
PROJECT_KEY | Your project key | RKE |

Action variables
Upload test result
Here is a JUnit report example to experiment with.
If you need more thorough examples, please refer to our public repository for more sample projects Agile Test GitHub.
Use API
Below is a sample yaml file.
name: Agile Test Demo
# This workflow represents a set of basic End-to-End tests
on:
workflow_dispatch:
env:
AGILETEST_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.AGILETEST_STG_BASE_URL }}
AGILETEST_AUTH_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.AGILETEST_AUTH_STG_BASE_URL }}
AGILETEST_DC_TOKEN: ${{secrets.AGILETEST_DC_TOKEN}}
AGILETEST_CLIENT_ID: ${{ secrets.CLIENT_ID }}
AGILETEST_CLIENT_SECRET: ${{ secrets.CLIENT_SECRET }}
PROJECT_KEY: ${{ vars.PROJECT_KEY }}
jobs:
test:
name: run test
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Set up JDK 17
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
with:
java-version: "17"
distribution: "temurin"
cache: maven
- name: Build with Maven
run: mvn -B package --file pom.xml
- name: Submit test result using API
run: |
export token=$( \
curl "$AGILETEST_AUTH_BASE_URL/api/apikeys/authenticate" \
-X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' \
--data '{"clientId":"'"${AGILETEST_CLIENT_ID}"'","clientSecret":"'"${AGILETEST_CLIENT_SECRET}"'"}' | tr -d '"'\
)
curl -X POST "$AGILETEST_BASE_URL/ds/test-executions/junit?projectKey=$PROJECT_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type:application/xml" \
-H "Authorization:JWT $token" \
--data-binary "@target/surefire-reports/TEST-calculateTest.xml"
In this file, we use 2 endpoints
api/v1/apikeys/authenticate
to get temporary token using acquired client_id and client_secret.ds/test-executions/nunit
to submit test report to Agile Test so that the application could create or update Test execution and Test cases accordingly.
To learn more about these endpoints, please refer to this document API document.
Use AgileTest CLI
You could find the specs of our CLI here https://agiletestapp.github.io/agiletest-cli/ .
Setup for Cloud
Below is a sample yaml file.
name: Agile Test Demo
# This workflow represents a set of basic End-to-End tests
on:
workflow_dispatch:
env:
AGILETEST_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.AGILETEST_BASE_URL }}
AGILETEST_AUTH_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.AGILETEST_AUTH_BASE_URL }}
AGILETEST_CLIENT_ID: ${{ secrets.CLIENT_ID }}
AGILETEST_CLIENT_SECRET: ${{ secrets.CLIENT_SECRET }}
PROJECT_KEY: ${{ vars.PROJECT_KEY }}
jobs:
test:
name: run test
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Set up JDK 17
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
with:
java-version: '17'
distribution: 'temurin'
cache: maven
- name: Build with Maven
run: mvn -B package --file pom.xml
- name: Submit test result to AgileTest
run: |
docker run --rm \
-e AGILETEST_BASE_URL=$AGILETEST_BASE_URL \
-e AGILETEST_AUTH_BASE_URL=$AGILETEST_AUTH_BASE_URL \
-e AGILETEST_CLIENT_ID=$AGILETEST_CLIENT_ID \
-e AGILETEST_CLIENT_SECRET=$AGILETEST_CLIENT_SECRET \
-v ${{ github.workspace }}/target/surefire-reports:/reports \
ghcr.io/agiletestapp/agiletest-cli:latest \
test-execution import --framework-type junit --project-key $PROJECT_KEY \
/reports/TEST-calculateTest.xml
In this workflow yaml file, we have 2 main steps, namely Build with Maven and Submit test result to AgileTest:
Step 1: Run the GitHub action “Java with Maven” to build and yield the reports.
Step 2: Use Agile Test CLI, which is integrated in a docker image, to upload the test result to Agile Test application.
For each test run, a new Test Execution will be created along with linked Test Cases. However, if the Test Cases already exist in your project, Agile Test will only generate a new Test Execution and link the matching Test Cases to it, including the test results.
Setup for Data Center
Below is a sample yaml file.
name: Agile Test Demo
# This workflow represents a set of basic End-to-End tests
on:
workflow_dispatch:
env:
AGILETEST_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.AGILETEST_BASE_URL }}
AGILETEST_DC_TOKEN: ${{secrets.AGILETEST_DC_TOKEN}}
PROJECT_KEY: ${{ vars.PROJECT_KEY }}
jobs:
test:
name: run test
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Set up JDK 17
uses: actions/setup-java@v4
with:
java-version: "17"
distribution: "temurin"
cache: maven
- name: Build with Maven
run: mvn -B package --file pom.xml
- name: Submit test result to Agile Test
run: |
docker run --rm \
-e AGILETEST_BASE_URL=$AGILETEST_BASE_URL \
-e AGILETEST_DC_TOKEN=$AGILETEST_DC_TOKEN \
-v ${{ github.workspace }}/target/surefire-reports:/reports \
ghcr.io/agiletestapp/agiletest-cli:latest \
--data-center \
test-execution import --framework-type junit --project-key $PROJECT_KEY \
/reports/TEST-calculateTest.xml
In this workflow yaml file, we have 2 main steps, namely Build with Maven and Submit test result to AgileTest:
Step 1: Run the GitHub action “Java with Maven” to build and yield the reports.
Step 2: Use Agile Test CLI, which is integrated in a docker image, to upload the test result to Agile Test application.
Unlike the YAML file for Cloud version, in this file, we omit AGILETEST_CLIENT_ID, AGILETEST_CLIENT_SECRET, and AGILETEST_AUTH_BASE_URL. Instead, we add a different secret variable named AGILETEST_DC_TOKEN.
To retrieve your DC token please follow this instruction from Jira https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver0717/personal-access-tokens-1087535496.html
For each test run, a new Test Execution will be created along with linked Test Cases. However, if the Test Cases already exist in your project, Agile Test will only generate a new Test Execution and link the matching Test Cases to it, including the test results.
View Pipeline Status
AgileTest provides a simple way to track the status of your pipeline after it has been triggered. To enable this feature, just add the following directives to your workflow file.
if: always()
run: |
if [ "${{ job.status }}" == "success" ]; then
RESULT="success"
else
RESULT="failed"
fi
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization:Bearer $AGILETEST_DC_TOKEN" \
--data '{ "repository": "'"${{ github.repository }}"'", "runId": "'"${{ github.run_id }}"'", "tool":"github", "result":"'"$RESULT"'" }' \
"$AGILETEST_BASE_URL/rest/agiletest/1.0/test-executions/${{ inputs.TEST_EXECUTION_KEY }}/pipeline/history?projectKey=$PROJECT_KEY"
For Cloud version, we use the endpoint
test-executions/{test_execution_id}/pipeline/history
However, if you are working with AgileTest Data center version, please use
rest/agiletest/1.0/test-executions/{test_execution_id}/pipeline/history
in stead.
Your file should look like this now.
name: Agile Test Demo
# This workflow represents a set of basic End-to-End tests

AGILETEST_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.AGILETEST_BASE_URL }}

-X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
--data '{"clientId":"'"${AGILETEST_CLIENT_ID}"'","clientSecret":"'"${AGILETEST_CLIENT_SECRET}"'"}' | tr -d '"'\
)
curl "$AGILETEST_BASE_URL/ds/test-executions/${{ inputs.TEST_EXECUTION_KEY }}/pipeline/history?projectKey=$PROJECT_KEY" \
-X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization:JWT $token" \
--data '{ "repository": "'"${{ github.repository }}"'", "runId": "'"${{ github.run_id }}"'", "tool":"github", "result":"'"$RESULT"'" }'
If you include this part to your YAML file, on pipeline’s completion, a history log with pipeline status will be added on the right panel of the execution issue screen as below.
