Integrating test automation with existing CI/CD pipelines

Integrating test automation with existing CICD pipelines

Integrate test automation with CI/CD pipelines. Automate test execution. Perform deployment using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI or Travis CI.

Examples

// Example 1: Jenkins pipeline script
pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                echo 'Building...'
                // Add build steps here
            }
        }
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                echo 'Testing...'
                sh 'mvn test'
            }
        }
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                echo 'Deploying...'
                // Add deploy steps here
            }
        }
    }
}

// Example 2: GitLab CI configuration
stages:
  - build
  - test
  - deploy

build:
  script:
    - echo "Building..."
    # Add build steps here

test:
  script:
    - echo "Testing..."
    - mvn test

deploy:
  script:
    - echo "Deploying..."
    # Add deploy steps here

// Example 3: Travis CI configuration
language: java
jdk:
  - openjdk11
script:
  - echo "Building..."
  # Add build steps here
  - echo "Testing..."
  - mvn test
  - echo "Deploying..."
  # Add deploy steps here
