About this plugin
If you are using HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) 11.00 or higher and QuickTest Professional 11.00 or higher, or if you want to call Unified Functional Testing (UFT) or Service Test (ST) tests, use the HP Application Automation Tools plugin.
This plugin allows to trigger HP Quality Center test sets as a build step and then to present the results in Hudson's UI like for JUnit:
This plugin currently supports at least:
- HP Quality Center 9.0 (installation of QC/installation of QTP Add-in/triggering of test sets)
- HP Quality Center 9.1 (installation of QC/installation of QTP Add-in/triggering of test sets)
- HP Quality Center 9.2 (installation of QC/installation of QTP Add-in/triggering of test sets)
- HP Quality Center 10.0 (triggering of test sets only)
Other versions may work since HP Quality Center's API is fairly stable across versions.
User guide
Configuring Quality Center client and QuickTest Professional Add-in installations
Before using the HP Quality Center build step, the plugin must be configured by (1) defining one or several installations for the Quality Center client tool and (2) one or several installations for the Quick Test Professional Add-in tool. You do this by going to the standard Manage Hudson screen:
Note: You can choose an automatic installer for both tools. In the case of the Quality Center client one, the installer will be downloaded from your Quality Center server. In the case of the Quick Test Professional Add-in tool, it will be downloaded from HP's update site.
Configuring the HP Quality Center build step
A job which uses an HP Quality Center build step MUST run on Windows.
To trigger test sets from a job, add an HP Quality Center build step. It is configured as follow:
Note: It's unadvised to change the value of the TestSet Generated Report Name field.
Once the build step has been added, it is stronly advised to enable the Publish Quality Center test results publisher. This publisher will read the test results from the file defined using the TestSet Generated Report Name field and will provide the Hudson integration like for JUnit.
