copied!<p>I've been researching this for a good few hours now, but I've only found pieces of the big picture. Everywhere they are assuming that the reader already has a part of the system set up.</p> <p>I think it will be useful to have a big picture description of the parts needed to put the whole thing together.</p> <p>They all say "use your maven selenium tests" and so on and so forth.</p> <p>EDIT: After some research I found out I need to install Maven in Jenkins and on my computer, install a maven plugin for Eclipse, and create/convert my projects as Maven projects. How do I transfer my Maven projects in Jenkins? Do I export to .jar, or do I move the whole folder on the server? How do I connect the whole thing together with xvfb?</p> <p>So here is what I know so far</p> <ol> <li>Install Jenkins (we already have that on our server)</li> <li>Install plugins for Jenkins (which ones?)</li> <li>Install xvfb so tests are run in a headless browser (how do I specify that in the Java written test?)</li> <li>Install Maven on computer, jenkins and eclipse, use maven projects.</li> <li>Which part of my project folder from the eclipse workplace should I upload on the server and where? I have a testng.xml file and some classes (which are the acutal tests)</li> <li>How do I tell Jenkins to automatically run the Selenium Webdriver tests after deploy, and which file do I point to?</li> <li>How to get reports - through TestNg or through some Jenkins feature?</li> </ol>
