Testspace

Custom Publishing

This is a standalone tutorial covering custom publishing.

As mentioned in the Add to CI help article, there are two types of projects - Connected and Standalone. This section of the tutorial focuses exclusively on the steps required for publishing results using a standalone project. A standalone project is applicable when running custom test automation - not connected to GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repositories.

$ testspace results.xml coverage.xml ...

Refer to the Add to CI help article for details on CI/Automation integration.

Now login into your Testspace account.

New project

You will now create a Testspace project to be used for this section of the tutorial. Select the New Project button(only availabe to admin accounts) at the top right of the page. You can select whether to make this project Public by the checkbox in the upper right corner, the default is private.

New Project

Provide a Project name and optional description and SUBMIT.

Note, if a list of repos is presented make sure to select the STANDALONE button on the left/bottom side.

New space

Once a new Project has been created a space for publishing needs to be added as well. Select the New Space button to bring up the dialog shown below.

New Space

Provide a Space name and optional description and SUBMIT.

Install client

As a prerequisite to pushing test content the Testspace client console utility is required to be installed on your host computer. Refer to the client installation instructions for Windows, Linux, and macOS computers.

Verify installation:

$ testspace --version

Push data

For simplicity, create a file called results.xml with the following pre-canned test results:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuites name="example" tests="2" failures="0" time="2.0">
  <testsuite name="Hello Automation">
    <testcase classname="Hello Automation" name="Test Case One" time="1.00"/>
    <testcase classname="Hello Automation" name="Test Case Two" time="1.00"/>
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>

Using the newly created file go ahead and push data to the server using the following:

$ testspace results.xml YOUR_TOKEN:@YOUR_ORG.testspace.com/YOUR_PROJECT/YOUR_SPACE

After making the following changes:

  • Update YOUR_ORG to the name you picked when signing up to Testspace (e.g. 'myOrganization')
  • Update YOUR_PROJECT to the name used
  • Update YOUR_SPACE to the named used
  • Update YOUR_TOKEN to your Testspace User access-token

Config

If appropriate you could do a one time config:

$ testspace config url YOUR_TOKEN:@YOUR_ORG.testspace.com/YOUR_PROJECT/YOUR_SPACE

Then pushing looks like:

$ testspace results.xml

For setting options see:

$ testspace --help config
