You’ve been asking for a better way to manage test data, centralise values, and securely handle credentials across environments.
Today, we’re introducing a major upgrade to Variables in Kapptivate — and the addition of a brand-new concept: Secrets.

This update makes your scenarios more flexible, secure, and scalable than ever.

🔐 Introducing Secrets (new)

Safely store sensitive values such as passwords, access tokens or internal IDs — encrypted at rest and hidden in the UI.
Secrets can be referenced just like any other variable, so you can use them inside your scenarios without exposing sensitive data.

Perfect for:

• User credentials

• API keys

• Authentication tokens

• Sensitive identifiers

🎛 Upgraded Variables

Variables have been redesigned to give you more control and better maintainability across large test suites.

1. Single-value variables

Store a universal value once (URL, endpoints, IDs…) and reuse it across multiple scenarios.

2. Choice variables

Define a dropdown list of predefined values. Great for roles, device types, IBANs, or any input that changes depending on the use case.

3. Inline usage in scenario steps

Insert variables and secrets directly inside step inputs, assertions and conditions, making tests easier to maintain and adapt.
