Jenkins Automated Testing: Complete Setup Guide
Jenkins is a continuous integration tool that allows for automation of testing tasks through configuration. The following are the general steps to implement automated testing in Jenkins:
- Create a new Jenkins task by clicking on “New Item” on the main interface of Jenkins, then select the type of task you want such as “Freestyle project” or “Pipeline”.
- Set up source code management: In the task configuration page, choose the “Source Code Management” option and specify the address of the code repository and branch information.
- Set up build triggers: In the task configuration page, select the “Build Triggers” option to configure triggers such as scheduled builds or builds triggered by code commits to initiate the build task.
- Add build steps: On the task configuration page, select the “Build” option and add build steps. You can choose to execute Shell scripts, Windows batch scripts, or call Ant/Maven to run test scripts.
- Generate testing report: After completing the testing in the build steps, it is necessary to set up the generation and display of the testing report. Jenkins plugins such as JUnit plugin, HTML Publisher plugin, etc. can be used to generate and display the testing report.
- Save and execute tasks: After completing the task configuration, click the “Save” button to save the configuration, and then manually click the “Build Task” button to execute the automated testing task.
By following the above steps, you can achieve automation testing in Jenkins and understand the test results by reviewing the test report.
