Working with run configurations in automation suites

If you want to run builds for a Jenkins project from an automation suite in Helix ALM, configure a run configuration for the suite. The run configuration specifies the Jenkins configuration, project, and the default parameter values to use when running the build.

If you do not use Jenkins or will only run builds from within Jenkins, you do not need configure a run configuration for the suite.

See Running Jenkins automation suites from Helix ALM for information.

1. Make sure that the Helix ALM project has a Jenkins configuration for the instance to connect to from the suite. See Adding Jenkins configurations.

2. Click Automation Suites in the left navigation area.

The Automation Suites list opens.

3. Select the suite, click Actions, and choose Edit. You can also click the suite name or number.

The suite page opens with the Details tab selected. You can only edit information on the Details tab, not the Summary or Builds tabs.

Click an area to expand or collapse it. Click the Expand All button to expand all areas or the Collapse All button to collapse expanded areas at the top of the page.

4. Go to the Run Configuration area.

If the suite already has a run configuration, it is displayed. If the Helix ALM project does not have a Jenkins configuration, 'No integrations with automated testing products have been configured' is displayed. See Adding Jenkins configurations for information about adding configurations.
