I'm using JenkinsFile to manage our pipeline.
Since, we integrated maven-failsafe-plugin to run the unit tests and integration tests separately, we get separate result reports from both plugins.
This is how i configured the same in JenkinsFile in the post section:
junit testResults: '**/target/surefire-reports/*.xml, **/target/failsafe-reports/*.xml'
I would have expected Jenkins to show unit tests and integration tests separately, but unfortunately, Jenkins merges the results of both XML and there is no clear distinction between unit test and integration tests.
We want our builds to have a separate view on Integration tests results.
Is there anyway to do that with Jenkins?
I dont know a way how to do that in Jenkins itself, but maybe a workaround. After you use mvn clean verify you can use mvn site in a jenkins pipeline and build a HTML representation. These testresults are splitted between failsafe and surefire and you can open it directly from your workspace and look into the diffrent results from failsafe and surefire plugin.

I added the maven-failsafe-plugin to my project for runnig integration tests. When i run test only unit tests are running and when i run integration-test first unit tests and then integration tests are running.
It's all what i want so far but when i clean and build the project both unit tests and integration tests are running which i wouldn't prefer because i just don't want to prepare the environment for integration testing on every build.
I clean and build the project for some generated source to regenerate and i don't want to run the integration test meanwhile.
Is there a way that i only run the integration tests on purpose not by any automation?
I added -DskipITs flag clean install command of maven so integration tests are not running when i make a call of clean and install.
And i created maven goals as integration-test and verify to run and verify the integration tests via the failsafe plugin which i added to my pom.xml.
As i'm using netbeans as ide, i set the predefined maven commands via the actions tab of the project properties and i can run the integraion tests via right click to peoject and integration test sub menu under maven menu.
I have a spring-boot application which includes JUnit tests and I build using maven. I have organized by JUnit tests in a Suite using #Suite.SuiteClasses notation.
My problem/question is why when I run mvn package locally, I see that the unit tests referenced by the Suite are executed but they are also executed as if they were not part of the suite, while building the code in Bamboo, using again mvn package executes the tests only once (i.e. as members of the suite).
Do you use the same profiles / settings / maven commands on bamboo and locally?
I think what happens is that when executing the package phase the surefire-plugin starts executing all the tests. There might be a naming issue with the includes the surefire plugin uses by default.
If you execute the maven goal with -X you should be able to see the surefire-plugin configuration it uses to identify the tests. This should only match your suites - not the suites and the tests themselves.
I am using cucumber framework in my project. So for the reporting part, i need have started building the cucumber reports with jenkins.
So during the setup for the trail build i am facing the below issues.
All the tests are skipped, but not executing.
Can anyone have solution. I am happy to provide any other inputs required.
When using maven and cucumber you have two options to run the tests.
With maven: mvn clean install
With cucumber:-Dtest=Runnerclass test
Where Runnerclass is the class name of runner.
Include surefire plugin in your POM.xml to pick your test. if you want to run test as well, then use mvn clean install.

I have some junit tests and htmlunit integration tests in one of my maven project. The problem is that my integration tests are not getting executed when I run
mvn clean test
Junit Tests Here:
webstore\src\test\java\com\istore\dao\AddressTest.java
Integration Tests Here:
webstore\src\test\java\com\istore\presentation\htmlunit\PageTests.java
How does mvn determines that AddressTest.java should execute and other one should not?
http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#includes describes the expected filepatterns.
btw, if you are talking about integration tests, have a look at the maven-failsafe-plugin. It uses *IT.java as file pattern
The problem is suffix Tests, should be Test in your PageTests.java!
By default, the Surefire Plugin will automatically include all test classes with the following wildcard patterns:
**/Test*.java - includes all of its subdirectories and all java filenames that start with Test.
**/*Test.java - includes all of its subdirectories and all java filenames that end with Test.
**/*TestCase.java - includes all of its subdirectories and all java filenames that end with TestCase.
Maven Failsafe Plugin is for integration tests and uses suffix IT. To invoke integration tests with Failsafe Plugin use
mvn verify

Problem resolved after executing following command:
mvn failsafe:integration-test
In our project, we have a plenty of unit tests. They help to keep project rather well-tested.
Besides them, we have a set of tests which are unit tests but depends on some kind of external resource. We call them external tests. For example, they can sometimes access web-services.
While unit tests are easy to run, the integrational tests couldn't pass sometimes: for example, due to timeout error. Also, these tests can take too much time to run.
Currently, we keep integration/external unit tests just to run them when developing corresponding functionality.
For plain unit tests, we use TeamCity for continuous integration.
How do you run the integration unit tests and when do you run them?
In our project we have separate suite for regular/plain unit tests and separate suite for integration tests. The are two reasons for that:
performance: integration tests are much slower,
test fragility: integration tests fail more often due to environment-related conditions (give false positives).
We use TeamCity as our main Continuous Integration server and Maven as build system. We use the following algorithm to run the tests:
We run unit tests at within Eclipse IDE and before every commit.
We run unit tests automatically after each commit on TeamCity agents using Maven's mvn clean install
We run integration tests automatically on TeamCity agent after "main" build is completed.
The way we trigger integration tests execution is by configuring TeamCity's integration.tests task to be dependent on "main" continous.build task, see here for details: http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD4/Dependencies+Triggers
We run only integration tests (excluding unit tests) by:
using separate directory named
"src/it/java" to keep integration
tests,
excluding by default this source folder from maven-surefire-plugin configuration (configuration/excludes element),
using Maven profile called "integration" to exclude regular unit tests and include tests from "src/it/java" (this profile is configured by passing -Pintegration in integration.tests task).
We're using Maven2: maven-surefire-plugin to run unit tests (in the test phase) and maven-failsafe-plugin for integration tests (integration-test phase).
By default, all tests run when the project is built, however integration tests can be turned off using profiles.
In many cases integration tests are the part of the module, n some cases there are also dedicated modules which only do integration tests.
One of the teams also uses Fitnesse for acceptance testing. These tests are also in dedicated modules.
We're using Hudson for CI.
We run all the tests in one huge suite. It takes 7 minutes to run.
Our integration tests create mock servers. They never time out -- except when the test requires the server to time out.
So we have the following kinds of things. (The code sample is Python)
class SomeIntegrationTest( unittest.TestCase ):
def setUp( self ):
testclient.StartVendorMockServer( 18000 ) # port number
self.connection = applicationLibrary.connect( 'localhost', 18000 )
def test_should_do_this( self ):
self.connection.this()
self.assert...
def tearDown( self ):
testClient.KillVendorMockServer( 18000 )
This has some limitations -- it's always forking the client mock server for each test. Sometimes that's okay, and sometimes that's too much starting and stopping.
We also have the following kinds of things
class SomeIntegrationTest( unittest.TestCase ):
def setUp( self ):
self.connection = applicationLibrary.connect( 'localhost', 18000 )
def test_should_do_this( self ):
self.connection.this()
self.assert...
if __name__ == "__main__":
testclient.StartVendorMockServer( 18000 ) # port number
result= unittest.TextTestRunner().run()
testclient.KillVendorMockServer( 18000 )
system.exit( result.failures + result.errors )
To support this testing, we have a number of mocked-up servers for various kinds of integration tests.
We use Jenkins to run our tests automatically.
Be careful of differencing between Unit and Integration - Tests. It is confusing to talk about "Integration Unit Tests"
Maven offers good support to distinguish between Unit and Integration Tests-
Failsafe & Surefire Plugin.
From Apache Maven Project:
The Failsafe Plugin is designed to run integration tests while the Surefire Plugin is designed to run unit tests.
(see: http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/)
You need to configure these Plugins in your pom.xml
You then only use mvn test - to run unit tests or mvn verify to run integration tests.
Unit test should run periodically f.i. every 15 min.
Integration Test, normally take long, and should run f.i. every 24 hours.
Hope that helps others.
