HeadSpin

HeadSpin provides a plugin to Jenkins that does a deep integration of the HeadSpin session with the Jenkins concept of build. Using the HeadSpin plugin, each session is tagged with the build_id. This allows viewing all devices in use during a build, as well as end of build statistics based on the HeadSpin performance data. This document will explain how to configure and use the plugin.

Usage of this plugin requires a HeadSpin API token. You must have a HeadSpin account to generate an API token. You can sign up for a new account at https://ui.headspin.io/register?referral=jenkins. Further configration of the plugin can be found under https://ui.headspin.io/mysettings.
