Adding Jenkins configurations

Before you can run an automation suite from Helix ALM, you need to configure a connection to the Jenkins instance that contains the automated tests to run. See Running Jenkins automation suites from Helix ALM for information about running suites.

To work with Jenkins configurations, you must be logged in to test case management and be in a security group with the Configure Jenkins Integration command enabled. Contact your administrator for additional help.

1. Click Administration.

The Admin Home page opens.

2. Click Jenkins Integration.

The Jenkins integration page opens.

3. Click Add.

The Add Jenkins Integration dialog box opens.

4. Enter a Name to identify the configuration.

5. Enter the Jenkins URL for the instance to connect to. The URL must start with http:// or https://. HTTPS is highly recommended.

6. Click Test Connection to test the connection to Jenkins.

Errors are displayed if the connection fails. Correct any problems and test the connection again. See Troubleshooting Jenkins configuration issues for help with common and certificate-related errors.

7. Enter a Description for the configuration to explain what is used for and distinguish it from other configurations.

8. Click Add.

The connection to Jenkins is tested and configuration is added. If the connection fails, errors are displayed. Fix any issues and then save the configuration again. See Troubleshooting Jenkins configuration issues.

You can now use the configuration when adding run configurations for automation suites.
