ReadyAPI Test Functional Testing Plugin

About

A SmartBear plugin used to run ReadyAPI functional tests from Jenkins builds.

Requirements

• The project you want to run must be saved in ReadyAPI version 2.1.0 or later.
• The Jenkins node where you want to run your test must have ReadyAPI installed with an activated ReadyAPI Test license. You can install and activate the license from a Jenkins build. To learn how to do that, see ReadyAPI documentation.

Important Note

Make sure you run Jenkins under the same user account you used to activate the ReadyAPI Test license. Otherwise, you will get the "License not found" error. To learn how to fix this issue, see ReadyAPI documentation.

Configuration

The build step has the following settings:

• Path to testrunner - Specifies the fully-qualified path to the runner file (testrunner.bat or testrunner.sh). By default, you can find it in the /bin directory.
• Path to ReadyAPI project - Specifies the fully-qualified path to the ReadyAPI project you want to run.
• Test Suite - Specifies the test suite to run. To run all the test suites of your project, leave the field blank.
• Test Case - Specifies the test case to run. If you leave the field blank, the runner will execute all the test cases of the specified test suite, or, if you have not specified a test suite, all the test cases of your project.
• Test Suite Tags and Test Case Tags - Specify which tags must contain the test suite or test case to be run. To create complex conditions, use the || (logical OR), && (logical AND) and ! (logical NOT) operators.
• Project Password - Specifies the encryption password, if you encrypted the entire project or some of its custom properties.
• Environment - Specifies the environment configuration for the test run.
• License authentication method - Select License authentication method.
• SLM License API Host - Specifies SLM License API Host.
• SLM License API Port - Specifies SLM License API Port.
• SLM License Access Key - Specifies SLM License Access Key.
• SLM License Client Id - Specifies SLM License Client Id.
• SLM License Client Secret - Specifies SLM License Client Secret.
• Username - Specifies username.
• Password - Specifies password.

Reports

After the build is over, the plugin creates the following reports:

• A printable PDF report, which is published to Jenkins. To view it, open the build page you are interested in and select ReadyAPI Test Results on the left. Also, the link to the report is available at the end of the Console Output log.
• A JUnit-Style HTML report, which is available in the Jenkins workspace directory.
• A JUnit report, which is published to Jenkins. To view it, open the build page you are interested in and select Test Results on the left.
