collectBranchesToAlmOctane: ALM Octane branch collector

This step is responsible for collecting branches from the SCM tool and injecting them into ALM Octane.

In addition, this step is used to define the SCM repository templates that are used by ALM Octane to link to your repository viewer. To configure templates in ALM Octane, access Settings > Spaces. Select a workspace and click DevOps > SCM Repositories. Follow the on-screen instructions.


Supported version of ALM Octane: 15.1.90 and later.

You can change the behaviour of this step by adding the following parameters to the job:
  • branches_active_branch_days: Only active branches can be added/updated to ALM Octane. Default is 60 days.

  • branches_max_branches_to_fill: Relevant for GitHub repository only. Max branches to collect data. If data is not collected from a branch, it cannot be added to ALM Octane. Default is 1000.



Supported SCM Tools:
SCM Tool Supported types of authentication How to create PAT (Personal access token)
Bitbucket Server User/password and PAT Click on your profile icon -> Manage account -> Personal access tokens -> Create a token (Assign Read permissions for both Projects and Repositories)
Github Cloud PAT only Click on your profile icon -> Settings -> Developer settings -> Personal access tokens -> Generate new token (Uncheck all scopes to grants read-only access)
Github Server User/password and PAT

Note : To create PAT credentials in Jenkins , use "Secret text" kind of credentials in "Add Credentials" dialog
  • configurationId : String
  • workspaceId : String
  • scmTool : String
  • repositoryUrl : String
  • credentialsId : String
  • filter : String
  • useSSHFormat : boolean (optional)
    Select this if all other jobs that use this repository and are connected to ALM Octane pipelines use SSH format. It is important to be consistent with other jobs that use this repository.
    This will ensure that ALM Octane correctly identifies the SCM repository associated with commits, branches and pull requests.

commonResultUploadBuilder: Upload test result to ALM using field mapping

  • almServerName : String
    The name of the ALM Server.
  • credentialsId : String
  • almDomain : String
    The Domain of the project to be used.
  • clientType : String
    Client type is required for some ALM above 12.60 in authentication.
  • almProject : String
    The project to be used.
  • almTestFolder : String
    The path of the test folder that will contain the uploaded test. The path doesn't include the Root test folder (Subject).
    For example, sampletestfolder\subfolder means, the tests will be uploaded to test folder named 'subfolder', which is under the test folder named 'sampletestfolder',
    and 'sampletestfolder' is under the root test folder 'Subject'.
  • almTestSetFolder : String
    The path of the testset folder that will contain the uploaded testset. The path doesn't include the Root testset folder.
    For example, sampletestsetfolder\subfolder means, the testsets will be uploaded to testset folder named 'subfolder', which is under the testset folder named 'sampletestsetfolder',
    and 'sampletestsetfolder' is under the root testset folder 'Root'.
  • testingResultFile : String
    setting that specifies the generated raw XML report files, such as **/junitResult.xml. Basedir of the fileset is the root path of current job and workspace.
  • runStatusMapping : String

    Run status mapping field is for mapping the test result's status values to ALM run status value. Yaml key represents the ALM run status values. Only one of the following status can be set here:
    Passed
    Failed
    Yaml value represents the condition that sustains the status. Ten kinds of conditions can be set here:
    ==StringValue
    !=StringValue
    ==0 (Or any numeric value)
    !=0 (Or any numeric value)
    >>0 (Or any numeric value)
    <<0 (Or any numeric value)
    <=0 (Or any numeric value)
    >=0 (Or any numeric value)
    ==NULL
    !=NULL
    You should first set the status field in field mapping.

    Take following test result as example: <test-case name="ExampleTestOfNUnit.TestMultiplicationFail" executed="True" result="Failure" success="False" time="0.122" asserts="1"> Sample field mapping: run: status: "x: success" Sample status mapping: status: Passed: "==true" Take following test result as example: <case> <duration>0.041</duration> <className>SomeClass</className> <testName>SomeTest-1</testName> <skipped>false</skipped> <failedSince>0</failedSince> </case> Sample field mapping: run: status: "x: failedSince" Sample status mapping: status: Failed: ">=0"
  • fieldMapping : String

    Field mapping content is a yaml format configuration. Three sections are required. They are 'testset', 'test' and 'run'. Each section should has a 'root' property indicates the root node of the testset or test or run. Please note that test's root is based on testset's root. Run's root is based on test's root.

    Beside root, you can define any field you want to upload as an ALM entity. Yaml key represents the entity's field name. Yaml value represents the entity's field value.

    If you want to upload a value to a User defined field, you could use a key starts with 'udf|' follows by the UDF label. Such as 'udf-duration' would upload value to a UDF field which has label as 'duration'.

    For the yaml value part, there're two types of value. Value starts with 'x:' means the following value represents the xpath in the test result file. Value starts with 'v:' means the following value is a string value which would be applied to every entity.

    You can use '|' in yame value for combining several parts together.

    Sample test result: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <result> <suites> <suite> <file>Changes file</file> <name>Changes Test Set 1</name> <duration>2.293</duration> <cases> <case> <duration>8.293</duration> <className>ChangesManagement</className> <testName>test1</testName> <testVersion>4.0</testVersion> <skipped>false</skipped> <failedSince>0</failedSince> </case> <case> <duration>8.293</duration> <className>ChangesManagement</className> <testName>List changes 2</testName> <testVersion>4.0</testVersion> <skipped>false</skipped> <failedSince>0</failedSince> </case> </cases> </suite> <duration>0.576</duration> </result> Sample field mapping: testset: root: "x:/result/suites/suite" name: "x:file|v:_|x:name" udf|duration: "x:duration" subtype-id: "v:hp.qc.test-set.external" test: root: "x:cases/case" name: "x:testName" subtype-id: "v:EXTERNAL-TEST" udf|duration: "x:duration" udf|test version: "x:testVersion" run: root: "x:." duration: "x:duration" status: "x:failedSince"
  • createNewTest : boolean
    Check: Create tests and related test-instances and runs when no test is found by the specified fields(name by default or can be specified as id).
    Uncheck: Don't create test and related test-instances and runs when no test is found by the specified fields.
    Note: Tests will not be updated when they're found by the specified fields.

publishGherkinResults: ALM Octane Cucumber test reporter

When using this action, Jenkins understands and reads the Cucumber test report XML structure. After reading the structure, Jenkins can provide useful information about Cucumber tests results to ALM Octane.

To use the feature, ensure that you have added a Publish JUnit test results post-build action to your build. Then, specify the path to the Cucumber report XML files in the Ant glob syntax.
You can specify multiple patterns by separating them with commas.
This path should only contain Cucumber report files. Note that no other test types will be reported from this job.

  • cucumberResultsGlob : String

executeTestsFromAlmOctane: Execute tests from ALM Octane (Tech Preview)

This build step is intended to support execution of automated tests from Micro Focus ALM Octane.
There are several modes of execution :
Mode Explanation
Execute suite runs in ALM Octane Execute suites according to specified suite IDs. New suite runs will be created and executed in ALM Octane. Jenkins job is finished after triggering the suite runs. The job does not wait until the suite runs are finished. This method is useful if you want to schedule suite execution in ALM Octane.
By default, newly created suite runs will have name of suite and will be assigned to default release. In order to override this default behaviour, add following parameters (one or more) to job with your desired values:
  • octane_release_id
  • octane_new_suite_run_name
Get tests from suites and trigger execution jobs Get tests from suites and trigger execution jobs : Get tests from specified suite IDs. (This method assumes that tests are assigned to test runner jobs from the current Jenkins.) Tests are send to execution by their assigned test runner jobs. The main job is finished after the test runner jobs are finished. This method is useful if you intend to add your job to the ALM Octane Pipeline module.

          2. When the Sonar analysis is ready, the SonarQube server calls the configured webhook.
          3. Results are then submitted to ALM Octane for further analysis (this requires an access token with 'Read' permissions).
          If you cannot assign global 'Administer' permissions to the Sonar token (for the first phase), select "Skip webhook creation", and define a webhook manually in the Sonar server (either at the global level or project level) to the following URL: {jenkins_url}/webhooks/notify

        convertTestsToRun: ALM Octane testing framework converter

        This build step is intended to support execution of automated tests from Micro Focus ALM Octane.
        The builder searches for the "testsToRun" parameter which is sent from ALM Octane as part of the execution framework.
        Once it is found, its value is converted to the format of the selected testing framework, and injected to the "testsToRunConverted" environment parameter.
        Later, the new parameter can be used in the appropriate execution builder.
        • To use in parameter textboxes, use the following syntax: ${testsToRunConverted}

        • To use in the scripts, use the following syntax:
          • Linux shell: $testsToRunConverted
          • Windows batch command: %testsToRunConverted%
          • Pipeline script (workflow job): "${params.testsToRunConverted}"

          See examples in the tables below:
          Framework Linux shell
          Maven Surefire mvn clean -Dtest=$testsToRunConverted test
          Maven Failsafe mvn clean -Dit.test=$testsToRunConverted verify

        Notes/Limitations :
        • UFT: In order to build a UFT MTBX file, this builder needs to know the test check-out directory. By default this is the job workspace directory. If tests are checked out in another directory, define in the job a String parameter "testsToRunCheckoutDirectory" with the correct directory.
        • JUnit/TestNG: Supported for JUnit 4.7+, Surefire Plugin 2.19+, Failsafe Plugin 2.12.1+.
        • Cucumber-JVM over Maven: If your project contains several run classes, specify a run class that will be used, otherwise all run classes will be executed by Cucumber. You can specify test runner by adding: '-Dtest=[runner class name]' to the Maven command
        • JBehave over Maven: read more about integration with JBehave here


        See more help information in ALM Octane Help Center
        • framework : String
          Select the testing framework whose format you want to convert to.
        • format : String
          In the 'Custom conversion format' field, enter json that describes how to convert tests from raw format to the format of your testing framework. After conversion, the result is injected to the "testsToRunConverted" parameter.

          Note: Click "Validate" to check the correctness of the inserted configuration.

          The following are the components that you can use in the "Custom conversion format" :
          • testPattern - describes the pattern for converting single test. All parameters that needs to be replaced be real test data, should start with $, for example $package, $class, $testName, $externalRunId, $myCustomParam. All other characters in the pattern will appear in the final result as is.
          • testDelimiter - the delimiter used to separate different tests.
          • prefix - a prefix for the whole conversion result.
          • suffix - a suffix for the whole conversion result.
          • allowDuplication - indicate whether duplications are allowed in final result. Default is true.
          • testsToRunConvertedParameter - the parameter name that will contain the conversion result. Default value is "testsToRunConverted".
          • replacements - the array of replace methods.
          The minimal configuration is:

          {
              "testPattern": "$package.$class#$testName",
              "testDelimiter": ","
          }
              

          For example:

          The testsToRun parameter received 2 tests separated by a semicolon: v1:myPackage1|myClass1|myTest1;myPackage2|myClass2|myTest2
          The defined testPattern is: $package.$class#$testName
          The defined testDelimiter is: ,
          • $package variable will get a value of myPackage1 for the first test and myPackage2 for the second test.
          • $class variable will get a value of myClass1 for the first test and myClass2 for the second test.
          • $testName variable will get a value of myTest1 for the first test and myTest2 for the second test.

          The testsToRunConverted parameter will be equal: myPackage1.myClass1#myTest1,myPackage2.myClass2#myTest2

          Optional:
          There is a possibility to alter values received from ALM Octane, for example to set lowercase to the testName, replace spaces by '_', and so on.
          Here are examples of available replace methods. Each replace method contains "target" property that define what parts of the test pattern are affected by replace method, available values are $package,$class,$testName. Its possible to put several values separated by '|'. The replacements are executed in the order they appear in the 'Custom conversion format' json.
