For Lights-Out and Continuous testing Jenkins is a very useful tool. Jenkins is an open-source automation server in this topic we will learn how can we create connectivity between Certify, ALM & Jenkins also how to execute Certify processes via ALM and Jenkins.
Step 1: Create a folder under the ALM Test Plan. Here we have created a new folder “Sample Scripts Execution”.
(Go To Testing -> Test Plan -> Subject -> New Folder Creation -> Subject New Folder as Per Requirement)
Step 2: Create a folder under ALM Test Lab same as Test Plan.
(Go To Testing -> Test Lab -> Root -> New Folder Creation -> Subject New Folder as Per Requirement)
Step 3: Next add Certify process to ALM Test Plan. To add a Certify process into ALM Test Plan perform below steps.
(Go To process which want to add -> Right Click -> Select QC/ALM -> Select Add to QC/ALM(Test Plan))
(Click on Connect -> Add details URL, Domains, Project, User and Password -> Click on Connect)
(Extract Subject -> Select folder which created-> Click on OK)
(See process Name is created -> Click on Ok)
Step 4: Create a New Test Set in Test Lab under New created folder
(Go To Testing -> Test Lab -> New Create Folder -> Right click on Sub New Folder -> Select New Test Set and Add Name of test set)
(Click on New created Test Set -> Click on Select Tests button)
(Extract Subject Folder -> Extract New Folder which created -> Select New Script which Added -> Click on Green Arrow Button -> After added script click on cross Icon)
