Gitlab Integration

Automate your QA process by integrating QA.tech with your GitLab CI/CD pipelines. You can trigger test runs automatically on stages, after deployments, on merge requests. You can trigger an external API as part of your GitLab CI/CD pipeline using a curl command inside your .gitlab-ci.yml file.

​
Example: Triggering an API with a POST Request

This example demonstrates how to send a JSON payload to an external API from a pipeline job. 
trigger_qatech:
  stage: deploy
  variables:
    QATECH_REQUEST_BODY: '{"integrationName": "Gitlab"}'
    API_TOKEN: $QA_TECH_API_TOKEN # Use GitLab secret variable
  script: >
    curl --request POST --url "https://app.qa.tech/api/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/runs"
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN"
    --data "${QATECH_REQUEST_BODY}"

​
Instructions

Update the URL and QA_TECH_API_TOKEN for your project. You can find these values in your project settings.

​
Use a Secret Token

Store your API token securely in GitLab CI/CD variables under Settings > CI/CD > Variables. Name it QA_TECH_API_TOKEN and use it as shown above to avoid hardcoding secrets.

​
Optional Fields

For more information about our API and other integration options, check out our API Reference.

​
Notes

Make sure the job runs in a stage that suits your pipeline (e.g., deploy, test, etc.).
