Synchronize OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering With Git
Run OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering Test

Using this plugin, you can:

Upload performance scripts from a GitHub repository or a GitLab project to a project on an OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering server.
Create performance tests from a YAML file.
Run a test from its ID, or create it from a YAML file or YAML syntax and then run it.

There is a separate plugin for running OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering tests. For details, see OpenText Application Automation Tools - OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering Integration.

Versions

Version 1.0.0

This version provides the following enhancements:

Git synchronization

Ability to synchronize OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering with Git by uploading performance scripts stored in a Git repository to a LoadRunner Enterprise project.

Version 1.1.0

This version provides the following enhancements:

Git Synchronization: Ability to create a performance test from YAML files stored in Git.
Test Execution: Ability to create a test (from a YAML file or YAML content) before running it.

Version 1.1.1

Fixed a defect relating to a tech preview feature (REST API usage of Load Generator and Controller for dynamic provisioning).

Version 1.1.2

This version provides the following enhancements:

Network Virtualization Insights report is published in the Build's logs.
Rebranded the product name from "Performance Center" to "LoadRunner Enterprise", "PC" to "LRE", and "My PC" to "LoadRunner Enterprise Application".

Version 1.1.3

This version provides the following enhancements:

Fix for Java 11.
Connect to server with a tenant.

Version 1.1.4

This version provides the following enhancements:

Fix for pipeline build (FreeStyle project works fine):
- problem: While the first build passes and synchronizes everything, subsequent builds, supposed to only synchronize the changes in the Git repository, cannot calculate the difference and fail.
- Resolution: All pipeline builds now behave as if they are the first build and will synchronize everything.
Added support for new performance script type (DevWeb protocol): A folder containing both the "main.js" and "rts.yml" files is considered a LoadRunner Developer script.
Added support for Gatling scripts: A folder containing a file with ".scala" for extension is considered a Gatling script.
Additional rebranding (changing "Performance Center" to "LoadRunner Enterprise" in the build logs).

Version 1.1.5

This version provides the following enhancements:

Ability to use a token API (access key) associated with a user for authentication.
Added support for Selenium script. A folder containing a file with ".java" extension and containing the expression "import org.openqa.selenium" is considered Selenium script.
Fixed a defect caused by the plugin trying to validate a Linux OS system path according to Windows OS criteria and vice versa, when the Jenkins server and the remote agent are on a different OS type.

Version 1.1.6

This version provides the following enhancements:

Rebranding from Micro Focus to OpenText.
Possibility to associate a YAML defined test to a trend report.
Possibility to search for a timeslot defined for performance test to execute and use it.
Possibility to add a wait time between generation of the trend report and the download of the trend report to the build artifact.
Timeslot duration can be parametrized via two parameters (Hours and Minutes).

Version 1.1.7

This version provides the following enhancements:

Removing unused dependency.

Version 1.1.8

This version provides the following enhancements:

Rebranding product name.
Hiding confusing properties that remained for backward compatibility with unsupported old versions.
Updating different dependency components for security compliance.
New requirement: Jenkins 2.462.3 and above (requires java 17 or 21).

Downloads

You can download the plugin from this link:

Prerequisites

Jenkins 2.462.3 and above (and consequently Java version 17 or 21). To verify your Java version, go to http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp.
OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering server.
Git Repository on GitHub or GitLab server.
Jenkins versions: This plugin supports only the latest five LTS versions of Jenkins (currently, the latest is 2.479.3). This is a result of the Jenkins policy to no longer support older update centers. From Jenkins 2.462.3, Java 17 (or 21) is required.
Content Security Policy: Starting with version 1.641 (or 1.625.3), Jenkins introduced the Content-Security-Policy header. This causes some of the integration links, such as links to reports, to become inoperable. For details, see Configuring Content Security Policy and Jenkins Security Advisory . For suggested workarounds until the issue is resolved, see Content Security Policy Header.
