We are currently using TC and TE triggered from Jenkins.
Issues we've run into are:
A) Input to STDOUT for Jenkins to show progress in real time.
B) TE to wait for license to be freed from another TE
Since A) doesn't work, a hanged test can be detected only by logging in on the test machine to see what is going.
At the end of the test we copy results with HTML-publisher-plugin. If something goes wrong and the results are not published, we have no idea what happened.
We run tests as matrix job in Jenkins on multiple slaves. Since B) doesn't work, we need to separate setup parts from test jobs and hack around with semaphores. This is really unreliable.
Thank you.
