Squash DEVOPS 2021-11

SQUASH DEVOPS 2021-11

Version not supported anymore.

Release date:

2021-11-16

Release note:

Release note

Squash DEVOPS 2021-11 adds the support of Postman tests: Postman (https://www.postman.com/) allows writing test scripts for validating REST, SOAP, GraphQL… Web Services. It is an alternative to SoapUI which was already supported by Squash DEVOPS. It is now possible to write PEaC files executing some Postman tests as documented in https://opentestfactory.org/providers/postman.html.
Up to now, some Allure reports were generated and stored in Squash TM for each executed Squash TM iteration / test suite, but none was published out of Squash TM. Starting with DEVOPS 2021-11, if the orchestrator is configured to publish the reports in a S3 bucket, for any executed PEaC, an Allure report is produced for the whole PEaC and is published in that S3 bucket. This is done for all executed tests*, either defined in Squash TM iterations and test suites, or defined out of Squash TM.

* Due to some technical constraints, results of Ranorex tests not defined in Squash TM, i.e. executed using the ranorex/ranorex action in the PEaC file, are currently not taken into account in the Allure report. This should be corrected in a near future release.

Squash DEVOPS 2021-10

SQUASH DEVOPS 2021-10

Version not supported anymore.

Release date:

2021-10-21

Release note:

Release note

Squash DEVOPS 2021-10 now allows, in a step of the CI/CD pipeline, to:
- start the orchestrator,
- launch the tests defined by a PEaC,
- wait for the tests to finish and the manage their results, and
- stop the orchestrator.
In other words, Squash DEVOPS no longer requires an orchestrator running continuously.
In order to simplify these operations of launching and stopping the orchestrator, as well as the control of the execution of the PEaCs (status recovery, cancellation of a PEaC...), utility scripts are now provided.

Added features (common Squash AUTOM and Squash DEVOPS):

- the support of hooks allowing to configure custom actions to be performed before and/or after a given action launched by the orchestrator: retrieval of non-standard test reports, start/stop of a service needed for the tests... These hooks can be defined either in a PEaC file to be applied to the corresponding workflow or in a configuration file of a provider (component performing actions driven by the orchestrator) to be applied to all workflows
