Abstract

The new CA Application Performance Management (CA

APM) plug-in for Jenkins helps organizations leverage CA

APM in the pre-production environment by integrating

with Jenkins, a popular continuous integration tools. With

this plug-in, the critical pre-production test data can now

be seamlessly brought into Jenkins and presented in a

unified cross-build or per-build dashboard. It enables the

app developers to configure build pass or fail conditions

automating the decision making process without any

manual intervention.

Jenkins Overview

Jenkins is an open source continuous integration tool written in Java. The project was forked from Hudson. Jenkins provides continuous integration services for software development. It is a server-based system running in a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat™1.

• Automates the Release Pipeline

• Thousands of plugins to accomplish various tasks

• Supports Distributed builds

• Extensible

Jenkins Terminology

• Project: A set of tasks that can be run together to accomplish a goal

• TixChange Func Test Project

• Task: A unit of work that is part of the project and can have pass/fail condition to determine if the next task in the workflow can be executed or not. Can also be used to determine overall project pass/fail status

• Jenkins Plugin: Used to define a task


CA-APM Jenkins Plugin – Features

Collect multiple KPI’s

Configure multiple fail conditions

Notify via email of build pass or fail

Ability to only notify and not mark the build as fail even if the fail conditions are met

Ability to decorate ATC node with Build Number and Build Status

Ability to jump in context to APM Webview from Jenkins build or cross-build dashboard


CA-APM Jenkins Plugin – How it works

Utilizes Http plugin deployed on the EM to query EM (easy xl toolkit)

Deploy ca-apm.hpi in Jenkins (standard Jenkins plugin deployment process)

Shows up as a “post-build” task Configure key information like EM host, port, key metrics,

task fail/pass condition etc and save Will run as part of the project build and will mark the build

as pass or fail based on the configured condition Can pull past build information for comparison purposes.

The data is saved automatically by Jenkins


Demo – Setup

Project Name – TixChangeEndToEnd

Purpose – Run a complete Functional Test and Determine Build Pass or Fail based on the configured condition

Configured Jenkins Tasks– SCM Task: Retrieves TixChange Build from Internal GitHub

– Local Build Task: Kicks of a Build

– Deploy Task: Deploys the build on appropriate servers

– Restart Task: Restarts the TixChange server

– Jmeter Task: To run Jmeter Tests

– CA-APM Task: collects test data, marks the build as pass/fail, displays it as per build or across the build dashboards
