Hi Guys,

 

Thanks for sharing your thougths!

We have recently released the new TestComplete 10.6 version, which comes with a new plug-in for Jenkins.

Now, launching TestComplete and executing the needed test project can be done directly from Jenkins builds. Also, once tests are executed, the results get automatically updated to Jenkins.

Integration With Jenkins

 

What do you think about this? Please share your ideas/suggestions.

Hi,

 

I've tried this yesterday and here are my comments.

First this is a really good start for a first version of the plugin. The ability to run testexecute in another account is great.

But I would add the folowing features:

  1. ability to select if a MHT file should be generated along with the htmlx and tcLogx reports. It is because we use the MHT file to share result with our customer.
  2. have a testcomplete graph or reports on the main job page that will display the history of tests results with a direct link to the corresponding logs. I'm thinking of something similar to the MSTest plugin http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/MSTest+Plugin.
  3. display in the job output the progress of the tests with their results. Our tests are taking around 1, it would be nice to have in the output log of the running job. Not all the information would be necessary in the output log just the level of the log tree that you have in the tcLogX.

Again this is a really good first version.

 

Best regards,
