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.

You must have completed the following tasks:

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 plug-in. With a TRA-based report, you can filter the results based on the status of the build. The status of the builds can be PASSED, FAILED, and SKIPPED. You can also identify the failed build from the TRA-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

  1. Log in to the Jenkins server.
    The Jenkins dashboard is displayed.
  2. Open your Jenkins Freestyle or Pipeline project from the list.
  3. Click Build Now to run the test assets from Jenkins.

Results

You have run the test from the Jenkins server.

What to do next
