Technical Continous Integration H-TEST-Jenkins

H-TEST integrates with Jenkins as a part of its Continuous Integration.

Overview

The objective is to manage the integration between Jenkins and H-TEST in order to allow the execution of the regression test after each deployment done inside the Pipeline. For enabling the integration between Jenkins and H-TEST, two main components are going to be provided by H-TEST:

• H-TEST-CI MicroService API: Allocated in the H-TEST server will make possible to publish the methods for executing and providing results to Jenkins.
• H-TEST-CI.jar: Executable to be run for calling the H-TEST execution.

General Architecture View

The following picture shows the general architecture view for enabling the solution of continuous integration between Jenkins and H-TEST.

API Call

The H-TEST-CI MicroService API allows to order the execution of an Application in order to run the regression tests after a deployment. An Application is a group of Test Sets that have been packed for a specific Environment. The API call is built as follows:

• Call Type: GET
• EndPoint: https://app.htest.testautomationsystemtool.com/clientjenkins/excuteRemoteCITest?
• Parameters:
  • application: name of the Application as defined in H-TEST.
  • environment: environment linked to the Application as defined in H-TEST.
  • urlPositive: url for Positive result.
  • urlNegative: url for Negative result.

Example:

• application: test_application
• environment: CERT_environment
• urlPositive: http://localhost:8080/tast/client/getGreeting
• urlNegative: http://localhost:8080/tast/client/getGreetingKO
• Final call: https://app.htest.testautomationsystemtool.com/clientjenkins/excuteRemoteCITest??application=test_application&environment=CERT_enviroment&urlPositive=http://localhost:8080/tast/client/getGreeting&urlNegative=http://localhost:8080/tast/client/getGreetingKO

Please note that urlPositive and urlNegative are not fixed url's, they will be provided by the responsible of the deployment.

Application/environment can exist only once in the DDBB.

The mentioned Endpoint belongs to H-TEST installation; to obtain the endpoint of other environments please refer to your local support.

Pipeline Integration / Defining the Infrastructure

In order to implement regression testing in the continuous integration, Infrastructure allows you to define Pools that contain the Applications that must be tested; these applications are defined via aggregating the TestSets that must be run. You can also decide there the Host Lab that will be used for the execution.
