What are the difference between Jenkins and HP ALM?

[Manju]

Hi all,

I am a new user to this group.

If my understanding is correct, Jenkins is also a one type of test management tool like HP QC/HP ALM.

I just wanted to know what is the advantages of Jenkins over the HP ALM?

And what are the main differences between Jenkins and HP ALM!

Regards,

Manju

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

HP QC/HP ALM is a tool to keep test and requirements in.

Jenkins is a tool to run builds of software.


This is two totally different things.

HP QC/HP ALM coluld perhaps be compared to Atlassian Jira and similar tools.

Jenkins is all about automating builds. the builds are triggered
either by changes in a version control system or based on time.

It's not ActiveX based.

Jenkins is a very fancy Task Scheduler.

HP ALM is originally Mercury Test Director, its roots are in test management, integrations into automated testing (win runner, load runner, QTP).

Since HP bought Mercury its been rebranded and "enhanced" (that is debateable) HP Quality Centre into the ALM (application lifecycle management) space, covering Requirements, Change, Test etc. and as suggest is probably comparable to technologies such as Atlassian (Jira, etc), IBM Rational (RTC/RRC/RQM) etc.

From what I remember HP ALM doesn't operate any kind of SCM or build capability other than integrating to other systems?

Jenkins on the other hand is an "open source continuous integration server"; it provides a variety of facilities to run build jobs on one or more build servers/slaves, with a vast array of extensions in the shape of plugins. So, in theory it would plugin to HP ALM to provide the build capability.

There is a Jenkins Plugin for HP ALM that allows you to run test cases after your build or deployment of code.  We will be using this to verify if a recently built artifact passes our functional tests.

HP ALM is the slowest, crappiest, IE-focused, difficult workflow, impossible to integrate well into, piece of s*** software I've ever used. Be warned! I'd warmly welcome about any test tool/bugtracking tool you can get your hands on other than this!

Hi All,

I am trying to execute ALM test set through Jenkins.
I have few doubts,
* One "TestSet" has multiple scripts, can we run individual test through Jenkins?
My requirement is I have one test set in ALM which has 20 test cases, I need to execute all 20 test cases using Jenkins parallel execution mechanism, how to achieve this?

* what are the advantages of running jobs from Jenkins over Running directly from ALM?
    Even ALM has option to execute tests on multiple machines

Thanks,
Manju
