Ito supports three types of per-repository context that are injected into the test environment when running automated QA on your pull requests.
| Type | Description | Example use case |
|---|
| Variables | Plain environment variables | Base URL, feature flags |
| Secrets | Encrypted credentials | API keys, passwords |
| Seed data | Test data not in your codebase | Test user credentials, sample records |
Variables
Variables are plain-text environment variables made available to the test environment. Use them for non-sensitive configuration your tests need.
Open Settings
Navigate to Settings → Context & Secrets.
Select a repository
Choose the repository you want to configure from the dropdown.
Add a variable
Click Add Variable, enter a name (e.g. BASE_URL) and value, then save.
Variable names are automatically uppercased. Use SNAKE_CASE naming for consistency.
Secrets
Secrets work like variables but are encrypted before being stored. Your secret values are encrypted in your browser before they are sent — Ito never receives the plain-text value.
Open Settings
Navigate to Settings → Context & Secrets and select a repository.
Fetch the public key
Ito automatically fetches the current public key used to encrypt secrets.
Add a secret
Click Add Secret, enter a name (e.g. STRIPE_SECRET_KEY) and value. The value is encrypted locally before being saved.
Secret values cannot be retrieved after saving — only their names are visible. If you need to change a value, update the secret.
Seed Data
Seed data lets you provide structured test data that the AI agent can use during testing, such as test user accounts or sample records that don’t exist in your repository’s codebase.
Each seed data item has a name, a value, and an optional description explaining its purpose.
Open Settings
Navigate to Settings → Context & Secrets and select a repository.
Add a seed data item
Click Add Seed Data, fill in the name, value, and description, then save.
Use seed data for test credentials (e.g., a staging account username and password) so the AI agent can log in and test authenticated flows.
Never use production credentials as seed data. Always use dedicated test accounts on a staging or development environment.
Managing existing items
You can edit or delete any variable, secret, or seed data item from the Context & Secrets settings page. Changes take effect on the next test run triggered against that repository.
