Update Katalon Result to the QTest

The goal of Katalon and qTest integration is to enable seamless communication between the two tools. Like automate sync the test result from Katalon to qTest.

﷽

Background

If you read my previous post How to Integrate Katalon with qTest

That post succeeded in integrating katalon with qTest but I got an issue, which is the katalon result not updated at the qTest run. I have searched some threads in the katalon forum but didn’t find any solution.

Some threads that I found but didn’t solve that issue :

• Katalon Threads
• View and upload Katalon Studio test execution results to qTest

As an engineer with a problem-solving mindset, I always try to find alternative solutions when things don’t go as planned.

I found qTest swagger API documentation and tried to use it to update the test result.

I explored the API and found that I can update the test result using the test-log section on that swagger documentation.

Now, I’m trying to post the test result using this endpoint.

/api/v3/projects/{projectId}/test-runs/{testRunId}/auto-test-logs

Based on the image above, I filled the request body with the following data: projectId, testRunId and the body. The other fields are optional, let’s default value.

The result is:

You can see the result of STATUS, EXECUTED START, EXECUTED END and NOTES at the Test Log 1 Details. The values are from the request body.

{
  "exe_start_date": "2025-05-11T10:04:36.131Z",
  "exe_end_date": "2025-05-11T10:04:36.131Z",
  "note": "Run with Automation",
  "status": "FAILED"
}

Notes: The exe_start_date and exe_end_date are converted to my local timezone (UTC+07:00).

Let’s Explore More That Endpoint

We can see in the body request that we can update the status for the each test step.

Since my goal is to update the status of the test run and it’s step’s status, So I’m going to use test_step_logs property. The test_step_logs is an array of Test Step Log. It’s has 2 required properties: description and expected_result which are marked with a red asterisk *.

Prepare test run that has some test steps

I create a test run that has 4 test steps. My goal is to update the status of the test run and it’s step’s status.

Update the status of the test run and it’s step’s status via Swagger API

To update the status of the test run and it’s step’s status, I’m going to use the test_step_logs property. The test_step_logs is an array of Test Step Log. It’s has 2 required properties: description and expected_result which are marked with a red asterisk *. That already explained in the previous section. The body request is:

{
  "exe_start_date": "2025-05-11T12:48:01.008Z",
  "exe_end_date": "2025-05-11T12:55:01.008Z",
  "note": "Run with Automation",
  "status": "PASSED",
  "order": 0,
  "test_step_logs": [
    {
      "order": 1,
      "description": "User at prelogin page",
      "expected_result": "Validate: User at prelogin page (Title, Button Login, SignUp) are visible",
      "status": "PASSED"
    },
    {
      "order": 2,
      "description": "Click Login",
      "expected_result": "Validate: User at login page (Field EditText UserName and Password) Button Sign In, and Textview Sign Up are visible",
      "status": "PASSED"
    },
    {
      "order": 3,
      "description": "Fill the field with the valid credentials",
      "expected_result": "All mandatory field are filled",
      "status": "PASSED"
    },
    {
      "order": 4,
      "description": "Click Sign In",
      "expected_result": "Validate: User at the Mainpage, validate the title, menus transfer, topup, amount are visible ",
      "status": "PASSED"
    }
  ]
}

and the testpad will be like this:

Before I execute the swagger API, the request will be like this: please note the other fields are default value. I just added the test_step_logs property.

After I execute the swagger API, the request will be like this:

the test step status are updated to PASSED.

How about if I add the actual_result property in the test_step_logs? The result will be like this:

The body request is:

{
  "exe_start_date": "2025-05-11T14:48:01.008Z",
  "exe_end_date": "2025-05-11T14:55:01.008Z",
  "note": "Run with Automation",
  "status": "PASSED",
  "order": 0,
  "test_step_logs": [
    {
      "order": 1,
      "description": "User at prelogin page",
      "expected_result": "Validate: User at prelogin page (Title, Button Login, SignUp) are visible",
      "actual_result": "Validate: User at prelogin page (Title, Button Login, SignUp) are visible",
      "status": "PASSED"
    },
    {
      "order": 2,
      "description": "Click Login",
      "expected_result": "Validate: User at login page (Field EditText UserName and Password) Button Sign In, and Textview Sign Up are visible",
      "actual_result": "Validate: User at login page (Field EditText UserName and Password) Button Sign In, and Textview Sign Up are visible",
      "status": "PASSED"
    },
    {
      "order": 3,
      "description": "Fill the field with the valid credentials",
      "expected_result": "All mandatory field are filled",
      "actual_result": "All mandatory field are filled",
      "status": "PASSED"
    },
    {
      "order": 4,
      "description": "Click Sign In",
      "expected_result": "Validate: User at the Mainpage, validate the title, menus transfer, topup, amount are visible ",
      "actual_result": "Validate: User at the Mainpage, validate the title, menus transfer, topup, amount are visible ",
      "status": "PASSED"
    }
  ]
}

Let’s Try to Update the Test Result via Katalon

Now, I’m going to try to update the test execution result via Katalon. The goal is to update the test result via Katalon. Everytime I execute the test, the test result will be updated to the qTest.

1. Katalon Studio Project I create a new project with the name qTest Katalon Integration. You can clone the project. From the github repo qTest Katalon Integration

Once you clone the project, you can see on README.md file how to run the project, prepare the properties file, json file. If you already follow the README.md file, you can successfully run the project.

Curious? To see the project, here is the preview:

That’s all my notes.
