Project : Provar Project with Bitbucket

 Configuring Your Provar Project

To set up Bitbucket Pipelines, you must first create and configure the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file in the root directory of your repository.

You also need to configure the Provar project and the other required files to publish it on the Bitbucket repository.

  • ProvarProject: It contains the files built in Provar, such as test cases, the src folder, build.xml files, etc.
  • Provar License: This includes the .license folder containing execution licenses.

Build.xml Configuration

Edit the below information in the build.xml file.

  • provar.home: This value is the path of the ProvarHome folder, which contains the latest ANT libraries
  • testproject.home: This value is the Provar project root in your repository
  • testproject.results: The Provar results directory in your repository
  • license.path: This is the path where the .license folder is located
<project default="runtests">
<property environment="env"/>
<property name="provar.home" value="${env.PROVAR_HOME}"/>
<property name="testproject.home" value=".."/>
<property name="testproject.results" value="../ANT/Results"/>
<property name="secrets.password" value="${env.PROVARSECRETSPASSWORD}"/>
<property name="testenvironment.secretspassword" value="${env.ProvarSecretsPassword_EnvName}"/>

Creating a Project in Bitbucket

Step 1: Log in to your Bitbucket account.

Step 2: Create a new repository and list the project name, repository name, and visibility level.

Step 3: Push the project configured above to the repository.

Configure your Bitbucket Pipelines

Step 1: Go to Pipelines.

Step 2: Change the template to Other. Now we need to configure the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file.

Here is an example:

image: atlassian/default-image:2
pipelines:
default:
- step:
services:
- docker
script:
- apt-get update && apt install wget unzip xvfb
- wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
- echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
- apt-get update
- apt-get install google-chrome-stable -y
- export PROVAR_HOME="$BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/ProvarHome"
- mkdir $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/ProvarHome
- curl -O https://download.provartesting.com/latest/Provar_ANT_latest.zip
- unzip -o Provar_ANT_latest.zip -d ProvarHome
- rm Provar_ANT_latest.zip
- cd ${BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR}/test/ANT
- xvfb-run ant -f build.xml
artifacts: # defining the artifacts to be passed to each future step.
- test/ANT/Results/*

Explanation of the Sample Script Above

First, we must mention the base docker image – Provar supports Java version 8, and test case execution requires ANT. So, we have taken the official photo of atlassian/default-image:2. We can also use frekele/ant:1.10.3-jdk8 image, which already has Java 8 and ant.

PROVAR_HOME is the folder’s path containing the latest Provar ANT files. This is referenced in the build.xml provar.home property.

We need to execute our UI test cases on a browser which is why the Chrome installation is included. To execute test cases in headless mode, we also need to install xvfb. Before executing the test script section, install xvfb and run the xvfb service. Execute your test cases using the xvfb-run ant -f build.xml command.

Reports and Artifacts

Step 1: To get the reports folder as artifacts in Bitbucket Pipelines, add the following in bitbucket-pipelines.yml.

artifacts: # defining the artifacts to be passed to each future step.
- test/ANT/Results/*

Step 2: Now, commit the file. This will create a file named bitbucket-pipelines.yml in your Bitbucket repository.

Step 3: Go to Pipelines. You can see your pipeline running.

Step 4: Click on the Artifacts Tabs. You can download the artifacts here.

Parameterization using Environment Variables

Parameterizations can be used to execute the following:

  • Using the secrets and environments password
  • Adding data to the build.xml file at run time

To add variables to the repository, follow the below steps:

Step 1: Click the Repository Settings.

Step 2: Add a variable for the secret password. Mark it as secure, which will mask the value.

Step 3: Add a variable for the browser as well. This will help you to define the browser where the execution will be performed.

Parameterization using Environment Variables

You can access the variables using the ${env.VARIABLENAME} format in the build.xml file, as shown in the screenshot below.

Image showing how to access the environment variables in the build.xml file

Parallel Testing

You can achieve parallel testing by configuring parallel steps in Bitbucket Pipelines. Add a set of steps in your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file in the parallel block. These steps will be initiated in parallel by Bitbucket Pipelines so they can run independently and complete faster.

Here is an example:

image: "frekele/ant:1.10.3-jdk8"
pipelines:
default:
- step:
name: No parallel tag
services:
- docker
script:
- echo "Without parallel Tag"
- parallel:
- step:
name: Parallel 1
services:
- docker
script:
- apt-get update && apt install wget unzip xvfb
- wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
- echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
- apt-get update
- apt-get install google-chrome-stable -y
- cd test/ANT && xvfb-run ant -f build.xml
artifacts: # defining the artifacts to be passed to each future step.
- test/ANT/Results/*
- step:
name: Parallel 2
services:
- docker
script:
- apt-get update && apt install wget unzip xvfb
- wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
- echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
- apt-get update
- apt-get install google-chrome-stable -y
- cd test/ANT && xvfb-run ant -f build.xml
artifacts: # defining the artifacts to be passed to each future step.
- test/ANT/Results/*

Job Scheduling

You can schedule your jobs in Bitbucket Pipelines. 

Step 1: Go to Pipelines.

Step 2: Click on Schedules.

Step 3: Select your branch, pipeline, and schedule (i.e., Hourly, Weekly, or Daily). This will schedule your run as per the configuration.

Kubernetes

  Using containers to host applications and other processes has gone mainstream. As more and more workload is moved into containers, management systems are needed to handle the demands of containerized applications at scale. One of the most popular options for managing  container-based workload is Kubernetes . Kubernetes combines container management automation with an extensible API to create a cloud-native application management powerhouse. At its core, Kubernetes manages the placement of pods, which can consist of one or more containers, on a Kubernetes cluster node. Additionally, if one of these pods crashes, Kubernetes can create a new instance of it. If a cluster node is removed, Kubernetes can move any affected workload to a different node in the cluster. On top of that, Kubernetes pods can be scaled to provide more or less throughput to meet scale demands and these scale operations can be triggered manually or automatically using Kuberentes horizontal pod auto-scaling. Finally,
