Testopia

This plug-in integrates Jenkins with Testopia and generates reports on automated test execution. With this plug-in you can manage your tests in Testopia, schedule and control in Jenkins, and execute using your favorite test execution tool (TestPartner, Selenium, TestNG, Perl modules, prove, PHPUnit, among others).

Description

The Testopia plug-in integrates Jenkins with Testopia. Testopia plug-in uses testopia-java-driver to access Testopia XML-RPC API. With the information that you provide in the build step configuration the plug-in retrieves automated tests from Testopia. With the plug-in, you are able to execute build steps that call testing tools. It reads TestNG, JUnit and TAP test report formats, used to update Testopia test cases' executions.

You can use environment variables. 

How does the plug-in execute my automated tests?

Testopia Plug-in retrieves automated test cases data from Testopia. This data is then set as environment variables. This way your build steps can make use of this information to execute your automated tests.

For instance, you could run a ant command passing a Test Class as parameter, more or less something like this, /opt/java/apache-ant-1.8.0/bin/ant -DtestClass=$TESTOPIA_TESTCASE_SCRIPT. In this case, TESTOPIA_TESTCASE_SCRIPT the value of the script automation field in Testopia.

How does the plug-in know if a test passed or failed?

You can choose among different result seeking strategies in your job configuration. The plug-in will support three result formats, TestNG, JUnit and TAP. 

Already implemented:

• TAP (using tap4j)
• JUnit (using Jenkins built-in parser)
• TestNG (using testng-parser)

TAP result seeking strategies

TAP file name: The plug-in matches the TAP file name (e.g.: testFtpProtocol.tap) and the key custom field value.

Does the plugin record the test results in Testopia?

Yes, the plugin will update the testcase in Testopia and set the status according to the result of the testcase.

Configuration

1. Download and install the latest version of Testopia (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/testopia).
2. Create automated tests in Testopia (Check automated field).
3. Install the Testopia plug-in from the Jenkins Plugin Manager
