Jenkins Automated Test Triggers
To enable Jenkins to trigger automated tests, you can follow these steps:
- Set up a Jenkins project: Start by creating a new project or opening an existing one in Jenkins, and choose either a freestyle project or a pipeline project.
- Set up build triggers: Go to project configurations and select the option for build triggers. You can choose to add a timer trigger, code change trigger, or remote trigger, depending on your needs. Select the trigger method that fits best for you.
- Configuration building steps: Add a command to execute automated tests during the build process, which can involve running test scripts or calling testing tools.
- Configure post-build actions: Add email notifications, report generation, or other custom follow-up actions in the post-build actions.
- Save and initiate build: After completing the above configuration, save your project settings, then manually start the build or wait for the automatic trigger to initiate it.
After configuring the above steps, Jenkins will automatically execute the automated testing tasks when the trigger conditions are met, and notify and generate reports based on the configured subsequent actions.
