Report plugin for custom test framework?

[Jeroen Reijn]

Hi all,

at my current client they've developed a custom test tool that, which leverages Selenium amongst others, which I would like to integrate with Jenkins. Being able to execute the tool is easy. It's a java executable, which I just execute from a shell script. So far so good.

I've made some small alterations to the framework to output JUnit style test results and I'm now looking at ways to integrate the test results and make them visually available in Jenkins.

What I've tried so far is just using a JUnitResultArchiver in my pipeline definition, but this adds the results to the default 'Test Results' view for my job, which also shows the Junit test results. Because both sets or tests are not in a separate suite it's pretty hard to differentiate between the two type of tests. This might actually be a solution (not sure) to my problem, but I would ideally like a separate view for the custom reports. Now what I've noticed is that for most other tools a dedicated plugin exists (Gatling, JMeter, Fitness, Selenium, etc).

I was thinking that I might have to go the same route, but before I invest time and money into creating a custom plugin I was hoping some of you would be able to either point me in the right direction or just tell me that I indeed need to create a custom plugin.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Jeroen
