It can also be integrated with Team Foundation Server Change Management Integration Providers (such as Microsoft™ Team Foundation Server), and Atlassian Jira. After integration, defects and projects can be tracked directly through Rational Team Concert.
  - HCL OneTest™ API and Git
    The Git integration feature provides a flexible test asset management method to track, back up, and collaborate on a project with multiple users. Collaborators in Git can import projects and test assets from shared repositories into HCL OneTest™ API and contribute their own assets and changes to the project so that everyone has access to the changes.
  - HCL OneTest and HCL Launch
    When you use HCL® Launch (HCL Launch) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run tests created for your application that are created in HCL OneTest™ API. You can run the tests from HCL Launch by using the HCL Launch plugin for HCL OneTest API or the HCL Launch plugin for HCL OneTest Virtualization
  - HCL OneTest™ API and HP Quality Center
    The HCL OneTest™ API add-in for HP Quality Center provides a way to integrate the powerful test creation and execution functionality of HCL OneTest API with the organizational structures provided by Quality Center.
  - HCL OneTest™ API and IBM® Engineering Test Management
    When you integrate HCL OneTest™ API with Engineering Test Management, you can run HCL OneTest API tests and suites in the centralized test management environment of Engineering Test Management.
  - HCL OneTest™ API and IBM® Rational® Quality Manager
    The integration of HCL OneTest™ API with IBM® Rational® Quality Manager enables the execution of HCL OneTest API tests and suites in Rational Quality Manager centralized test management environment.
  - Integration with Rational Software Architect Designer
    With IBM® Rational® Software Architect Designer, you can design an organization's services, which include technical description, technical documentation, and links to other technical documentation. As a tester, you can pull this information into HCL OneTest™ API by using a WSDL or WADL add operation and populate the Architecture School quickly and accurately. HCL OneTest API parses the added documents in a way that you can directly use them in your testing.
  - HCL OneTest™ API and Jenkins
    When you use Jenkins for the continuous integration (CI) of your application, you can run tests for testing your application. You can run tests created in HCL OneTest™ API for your application in Jenkins by using the Integration Tester Jenkins Plugin.
    - Generating a Jenkins project configuration file for running tests or suites
      After you create tests or test suites for your application in HCL OneTest™ API, you can generate a project configuration file for the tests.
    - Setting up the integration with Jenkins
      You can run HCL OneTest™ API tests and view the results. You must set up the integration with Jenkins by deploying the Integration Tester Jenkins Plugin on the Jenkins primary server.
    - Configuring a Jenkins environment for viewing test results
      The Integration Tester Test Execution plugin helps to run the test suites. You can also view the test suite results. The Jenkins environment must have the Integration Tester Results plugin for Jenkins installed.
    - Configuring the Freestyle project by using the Integration Tester Jenkins Plugin
      After you install the Integration Tester Jenkins Plugin on the Jenkins server, you can configure the Jenkins Freestyle project environment to run the Integration Tester tests as a Jenkins build.
    - Configuring the Freestyle project by using the Ant script
      After you install the Integration Tester Jenkins Plugin on the Jenkins server, you can configure the Jenkins Freestyle project environment to run the Integration Tester tests as an Ant task by using the test configuration file generated by HCL OneTest™ API.
    - Creating a pipeline script from Jenkins
      You must create a pipeline script to run test assets from the Jenkins Pipeline project.
    - Configuring the Pipeline project to use created scripts
      You can configure a Pipeline project directly from the Jenkins UI by using pipeline scripts to run test assets from Jenkins.
    - Configuring the Pipeline project to use scripts from an SCM
      You can configure a Pipeline project to use pipeline scripts from a Source Code Management (SCM) source to run tests from Jenkins.
    - Running tests from Jenkins
      You can run test assets either from the Jenkins Freestyle or the Pipeline project on the Jenkins server to test an application under test.

  - HCL OneTest™ Virtualization with Rational® Quality Manager
    You can implement HCL OneTest™ Virtualization in Rational® Quality Manager integrated with HCL OneTest Virtualization by using HCL® Quality Server.

Viewing test results in Jenkins

After you run tests that are in a Jenkins Freestyle project or a Jenkins Pipeline project, you can view the test results within the Jenkins interface.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Configured a Jenkins environment to view test results. See Configuring a Jenkins environment for viewing test results.
Run the build in your Jenkins Freestyle project or Pipeline project. See Running tests from Jenkins.
Installed the Test Results Analyzer plugin on the Jenkins primary server to view the test results.

About this task

After the test run is complete, you can view the test results in a tabular format when you use the Jenkins Test Results Analyzer plugin. With a Test Results Analyzer-based report, you can filter the results based on the status of the build. The status of the builds can be PASSED, FAILED, or SKIPPED. You can also identify the failed build from the Test Results Analyzer-based report and take the required action to resolve the build errors. The TRA report also represents the build information in Line, Bar, and Pie graphs so that you can easily read the data.

Procedure

Open the Jenkins Freestyle project or Pipeline project on the Jenkins Dashboard.
Click Build Now by selecting the relevant job in Jenkins.
Verify that the project has been rebuilt under the Build History option.
Select the most recent build for the job under Build History.
Click the Integration Tester Results link on the left pane.
Alternatively, click Test Results Analyzer option to view the history of test results in a tabular format.

Results

An output page is shown with a HCL® Quality Server results page embedded. The relevant test suite results are displayed.
