I have created a Jenkins maven task to run selenium tests on one project, and now I want to use these selenium test in a proper way for CI.
Actually, I have a Jenkins task which 1-builds the project, 2- uses sonar, 3 - deploys the project. I would like to add the selenium tests to this process. The question is: can I run the selenium tests before deployment? Is it necessary to do a previous deploy for the selenium tests before the real deployment? Is there anyway to simulate a deployment or something like that so I can run the selenium tests?I would appreciate If you could advise me on how to do or any plugin which could help me.
As per my understanding, To deal with the scenario you should run the selenium test on QA environment. If all test pass then deployment should start for staging etc.
Additionally, once the deployment is done on staging, then selenium script should run again, test staging and if something went wrong then rollback from staging should be happened.
I never tried it but you can use below github plug-in for deployment(in case you are using github) :-
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitHub+plugin
If you are using SVN then use below :-

Hope it will help you :)

I'm new to Jenkins, so please go easy!
I have a web application which we are developing, and we've started automating our release using Jenkins.
I also have a standalone Selenium WebDriver script which will perform a Smoke test on our web app. We usually run this manually each time there's a new deployment.
I heard Jenkins can automatically trigger Selenium tests. So what I did was to create a batch file, which will in turn call the Selenium script. I added a Build Step which will call this batch file.
What's happening now is Jenkins first Builds the WAR file, executes the batch (for selenium) and then deploys it to the target Tomcat.
But I was wondering if I could change the order to Build WAR --> Deploy to Tomcat --> Call the Batch file that executes Selenium Test. I want to do this as Jenkins Tests before deploying, which means my Selenium test still runs on the old build. This makes little sense, as I would rather run the Selenium test on the new build.
In short, is there a way I can execute the Batch file as part of a Post Build Step rather than a Build Step?
Thank you Würgspaß !!
I solved my problem by creating a separate Selenium Job which gets triggered automatically if my Build is successful. This way, I can create any number of downstream jobs to be triggered for a successful build.
Presently we built a Automation framework which uses Selenium Webdriver+ specflow + Nunit, and we suing bamboo as our CI to run our Job against our every build.
we written a build.xml to handle our targets (like clean, init, install latest build, run Selenium scripts, uninstall build. etc)
ant command will read the tag name from the build.xml and runs the respective feature/scenarios based on Tags (like #smoke, #Regression)with Nunit in CI machine.
Now our requirement is to use Selenium Grid to divide scripts into different machine and execute with above set-up. Grid has to divide the scripts based on feature file or based on Tags.How to achieve this.
Is there any thing need to done under [BeforeFeature] and [BeforeScenario] ?
If you provide in details steps or any link which explains detail steps that would be a great help.
Please any one can help in this regards.
Thanks,
Ashok
You have misunderstood the role Grid plays in distributed parallel testing. It does not "divide the scripts", but simply provides a single hub resource through which multiple tests can open concurrent sessions.
It is the role of the test runner (in your case Specflow) to divide tests and start multiple threads.
I believe that you require SpecFlow+ (http://www.specflow.org/plus/), but this does have a license cost.
It should be possible to create your own multithread test runner for Specflow but will require programming and technical knowledge.
If you want a free open source approach to parallel test execution in DotNet, then there is MbUnit (http://code.google.com/p/mb-unit) but this would require you to rewrite your tests
I would like to schedule task which is login to a partner site and prolongs a license. I found that it can do Selenium. After I faced issue with scheduler and found article here http://www.learnseleniumtesting.com/ about Jenkins configuration. Now I cannot understand how to run test from selenium in Jenkins. Is there need good knowledge in python or java ? Also I found that RC standalone selenium server is deprecated and avoided to be using now. Is there need deep diving into using these tools for executing 5-7 action on site ?
I feel that Selenium is great for doing any tasks that you may find yourself doing over and over again. For "prolonging a license" on a partner site I think this is the perfect tool for you. We setup Jenkins to run certain Selenium tests after each commit and other Selenium tests every night. If you need me to go into more detail about how the setup looks I would be glad to show you more details.
Adding Jenkins build information to help show how we did it.
1) The first step is to get a build in Jenkins that will compile any code you have and deploy a war if needed with something similar to the following: mvn -P release clean test package. We set ours to build #midnight shown in the picture below.
2) After this build finishes it triggers the next job to run this command shown in the image below: mvn -Dtest -P smokeTest clean verify
I am using Selenium RC(Java) with TestNg. I run the script using TestNG. Now i want to integrate selenium with Hudson. So that whenever Hudson deploy the build into test server Dev team wants to perform Regression Testing using Hudson.
Simplest way is to use ant task to start/stop selenium before/after executing your test. Another way is starting server from code if required. You can use ISFW where server started by framework if required.
I have setup Bamboo to run JBehave tests on a remote agent (with JBehave-web plugin launching test using webdriver), and everything runs fine. Only problem is after the execution is finished Bamboo shows no test executed. I can see the option in Bamboo to select the output of the test results, but it has to be a JUnit xml, and Jbehave reports are only generated in plain text or html.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks
I ran in the same situation about a year ago. JBehave "doesn't" integrate with Bamboo out of the box. Although, they have a plugin for Hudson CI.
In my case, such as yours, I resorted in running the tests through the Surefire plugin; the outputs are considered as JUnit tests results and Bamboo can recognize them.
Hope it helps.
There is a really simple way to do this. And I'm currently doing this for our build system.
Write a simple parse script that transforms your plain of html report into JUnit compatible results. And add that script as a task in your Bamboo task, then use Junit parser to parse the results. Boo! You're done! Plus, you've got the capability to quarantine!
This is way much faster than writing a plugin for Bamboo, which involves considerable more time to learn/write.
Setup JBehave with Maven.In Bamboo build plan use Maven task to run it. For getting results in Bamboo use JBehave Task for Bamboo. It will convert JBehave scenarios in tests in Bamboo. If scenario names contains JIRA issue ids, it will link them to JIRA issues.
