Tiivistelmä
In the modern software development cycle; testing, releasing and deploying software continuously has become an important factor of the process. Equally important is to be able to see the test reports from any given phase of the process, proving that the functionality and the over quality requirements of software product are met. Feedback in the form of test reports generated from automated tests part of the continuous integration and delivery pipeline help to react on possible defect immediately. Test reports are also an important part of the release documentation.
To be able track the quality of software continuously and the deviation between software builds, releases and deploy environments; results and other artifacts captured from automated tests has to be persisted in a centralized database or repository. This enables to create different views to data, such as reports and dashboards. This thesis addresses the need of capturing test results, possibly different formats, from continuous delivery pipeline to enable fast feedback for the project teams as well as reporting to different project stakeholders and to supplement release documentation.
The work is carried out for Liaison Technology Oy as part of the ALLOY integration and data management platform project. The goal is to improve the visibility of test results captured from continuous integration pipeline, so that it is easy to see status of projects’ quality. The output and result from thesis is a design of a web service that provides upload and persisting of test results from deployment pipelines as well as queries over data the stored result.
