Integrating with Testing Tools

Next ►
►

In this section, we will explore how to integrate Jenkins with various testing tools to automate the testing process. This integration is crucial for ensuring that your code is thoroughly tested before it is deployed, thereby maintaining high-quality standards in your software development lifecycle.

Key Concepts

  1. Continuous Testing: The practice of executing automated tests as part of the software delivery pipeline to obtain immediate feedback on the business risks associated with a software release candidate.
  2. Test Automation Tools: Software tools that support the automated execution of tests, such as JUnit, Selenium, and TestNG.
  3. Jenkins Plugins for Testing: Jenkins offers a variety of plugins to integrate with different testing tools, making it easier to run and manage tests.

Common Testing Tools and Jenkins Plugins

Testing Tool Jenkins Plugin Description
JUnit JUnit Plugin Integrates JUnit test reports with Jenkins, allowing you to visualize test results and trends.
Selenium Selenium Plugin Facilitates the execution of Selenium tests and integrates the results with Jenkins.
TestNG TestNG Plugin Integrates TestNG test results with Jenkins, providing detailed test reports.
Cucumber Cucumber Reports Plugin Generates Cucumber test reports and integrates them with Jenkins.
JMeter Performance Plugin Integrates JMeter performance test results with Jenkins.

Step-by-Step Guide to Integrating Jenkins with Testing Tools

  1. Integrating JUnit with Jenkins

Installing the JUnit Plugin

  1. Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins.
  2. Go to the Available tab and search for "JUnit Plugin".
  3. Select the plugin and click Install without restart.

Configuring a Jenkins Job to Run JUnit Tests

  1. Create a new Jenkins job or configure an existing one.
  2. In the Build section, add a build step to execute your tests. For example, if you are using Maven, you can add a Invoke top-level Maven targets build step and specify the test goal.
  3. In the Post-build Actions section, add the Publish JUnit test result report action.
  4. Specify the path to the JUnit XML report files (e.g., **/target/surefire-reports/*.xml).

Example: Running JUnit Tests with Maven

<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.12</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>
mvn test

  1. Integrating Selenium with Jenkins

Installing the Selenium Plugin

  1. Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins.
  2. Go to the Available tab and search for "Selenium Plugin".
  3. Select the plugin and click Install without restart.

Configuring a Jenkins Job to Run Selenium Tests

  1. Create a new Jenkins job or configure an existing one.
  2. In the Build section, add a build step to execute your Selenium tests. This could be a shell script or a Maven/Gradle build step.
  3. In the Post-build Actions section, add the Publish Selenium test result report action.
  4. Specify the path to the Selenium test report files.

Example: Running Selenium Tests with Maven

<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
            <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
            <version>3.141.59</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

public class SeleniumTest {
    @Test
    public void testGoogleSearch() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        assertEquals("Google", driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }
}

  1. Integrating TestNG with Jenkins

Installing the TestNG Plugin

  1. Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins.
  2. Go to the Available tab and search for "TestNG Plugin".
  3. Select the plugin and click Install without restart.

Configuring a Jenkins Job to Run TestNG Tests

  1. Create a new Jenkins job or configure an existing one.
  2. In the Build section, add a build step to execute your TestNG tests. For example, if you are using Maven, you can add a Invoke top-level Maven targets build step and specify the test goal.
  3. In the Post-build Actions section, add the Publish TestNG test result report action.
  4. Specify the path to the TestNG XML report files (e.g., **/target/surefire-reports/testng-results.xml).

Example: Running TestNG Tests with Maven

<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
            <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
            <version>7.1.0</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import static org.testng.Assert.assertEquals;

public class TestNGTest {
    @Test
    public void testGoogleSearch() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        assertEquals("Google", driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }
}
