Integration with CI/CD tools like Jenkins

Integration with CI/CD tools like Jenkins

Integrating your automation tests with CI/CD tools like Jenkins enables automated test execution, continuous integration and continuous delivery, so that your software under test is is tested and deployed efficiently.

Examples

// Example 1: Jenkins pipeline script for running Selenium tests
pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                // Build your application
            }
        }
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                // Execute Selenium tests
                sh 'mvn test'
            }
        }
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                // Deploy your application
            }
        }
    }
}

// Example 2: Triggering Selenium tests on Jenkins after code commit
// Jenkins job configuration to trigger tests after Software Configuration Management (SCM) changes

// Example 3: Setting up Jenkins to send test reports via email
// Jenkins post-build action to send test reports to stakeholders
