Compuware Xpediter Code Coverage Plugin

Overview

The Compuware Xpediter Code Coverage plugin allows Jenkins users to extract code coverage results for COBOL source from a Compuware Code Coverage repository. These results can then be viewed in SonarQube.

Prerequisites

The following are required to use this plugin:

• Jenkins
• Jenkins Credentials Plugin
• Topaz Workbench CLI 18.2.4 or later. Refer to the Topaz Workbench Install Guide for instructions.
• Host Communications Interface
• Xpediter/Code Coverage 17.2, PTF PA01563
• Compuware Shared Services 17.2, PTF CXS527A

Installing in a Jenkins Instance

1. Install the Compuware Xpediter Code Coverage plugin according to the Jenkins instructions for installing plugins. Dependent plugins will automatically be installed.
2. Install the Topaz Workbench CLI on the Jenkins instances that will execute the plugin. The Topaz Workbench CLI is available in the Topaz Workbench installation package. If you do not have the installation package, please visit support.compuware.com. For Topaz Workbench CLI installation instructions, please refer to the Topaz Workbench Install Guide.

Configuring for Topaz Workbench CLI & Host Connections

In order to access Code Coverage data you will need to point to an installed Topaz Workbench Command Line Interface (CLI). The Topaz Workbench CLI will work with host connection(s) you also need to configure to download Code Coverage data.

• See Configuring for Topaz Workbench CLI & Host Connections

Retrieve Xpediter Code Coverage Statistics

This integration allows downloading of Code Coverage data from a repository.

On the Configuration page of the job or project, in the Build section, from the Add build step list, select Retrieve Xpediter Code Coverage Statistics.

This build action has following parameters:

• Host connection : Select the host connection to be used to connect to the z/OS host.

 Alternatively, to add a connection, click Manage connections. The Host connections section of the Jenkins configuration page appears so a connection can be added.

• Login credentials : Select the stored credentials to use for logging onto the z/OS host.

 Alternatively, click **Add **to add credentials using the Credentials Plugin. Refer to the Jenkins documentation for the Credentials Plugin.

Do one or both of the following:

• Path to analysis properties : Enter the path to an existing ccanalysis.properties file, which is a properties file used to specify the source, repository, system, test, and DDIO override information for the code coverage extraction.

• Analysis properties : Enter the parameters for the code coverage extraction, using the following syntax:

  • cc.sources : Indicate the relative path to the source directories to be used for the code coverage extraction.
  • cc.repos : Indicate the code coverage repository from which to extract code coverage data.
  • cc.system: Indicate the system to be included in the scan.
  • cc.test : Indicate the test ID to be included in the scan.
  • cc.ddio.overrides : Indicate the new location of the program's DDIO file if the file was moved or renamed from what is specified in the repository.

Parameters entered via the Analysis properties box override corresponding parameters in the ccanalysis.properties file.

If desired, repeat the steps above to add more build steps.

Click Save.

Run the job, which creates a CodeCoverage.XML file containing the code coverage information for the selected programs. This file is located in a Coverage subdirectory in the Jenkins workspace. This file can be input into SonarQube to view the code coverage results.

During the Execute SonarQube Scanner Step, add the following property to import the Coverage data into SonarQube. sonar.coverageReportPaths=Coverage/CodeCoverage.xml

Using Pipeline Syntax to Generate Pipeline Script

• Do one of the following:

  • When working with an existing Pipeline job, click the Pipeline Syntax link in the left panel. The Snippet Generator appears.

  • When configuring a Pipeline job, click the Pipeline Syntax link at the bottom of the **Pipeline **configuration section. The Snippet Generator appears.

• Sample Step : Select General Build Step .

• Build Step : Select Retrieve Xpediter Code Coverage Statistics .

• Complete the displayed fields.

• Click Generate Pipeline Script. The Groovy script to invoke the step appears. The script can be added to the Pipeline section when configuring a Pipeline job. A sample script is shown below:

   stage("Collect Code Coverage")
   {
    node{
        step([$class: 'CodeCoverageBuilder',
        analysisProperties: '''cc.sources=PLAY
        cc.repos=CPWR.CODECOV.REPOSIT
        cc.system=SYSTEM1
        cc.test=TEST1
        cc.ddio.overrides=''',
        analysisPropertiesPath: '',
        connectionId: '63e55263-8d69-4e1c-a91a-baf98ea15745',
        credentialsId: 'eaa1931a-1a63-46f3-ae4a-9729446eb326'])
    }
}

Known Limitations

• COBOL is currently the only language supported.
• Source code must be compiled using the Compuware Shared Services(CSS) pre-processor.
  • Other pre-processors can cause changes to the original source file that are undetectable to CSS.
• Nested copybooks within the procedure division are not supported.
• COBOL COPY REPLACING statements in the procedure division may cause source mismatches.
