How does Jenkins play with interface automation testing?

Here's the thing, last week, a test classmate Xiaofei reported.Recently, I am using an interface management tool Apifox, which provides a CLI command tool. It wants to combine continuous integration tools Jenkins and The CLI commands provided by >Apifox perform automated testing on test cases.But he is not familiar with the use of Jenkins, I will sort out the whole process and share it with you

1 Apifox CLI

Apifox CLI is an interface continuous integration command line running tool provided by Apifox.It is used to support two methods, such as running online data in real time and running with exported data.

The installation method is as follows

npm install -g apifox-cli

Note: Apifox CLI depends on Node.js version >= v10

The following is a test case for the pet store interface provided by the official website. We use Apifox CLI and combine this test case to conduct automated testing.

Xiaofei: Where did the url in the command line in the above picture come from?

You can find Test Cases in Apifox's Automated Test Tab, then select the name of the use case you want to test and click Details.as shown below

Then in the details of the test case, click the continuous integration button, and a continuous integration configuration window will pop up

Next we click New in the Continuous Integration window

Finally, select the running environment, the number of loops, the number of threads, etc. in the window, and click Save to create the running url

The url of the test case continuous integration was created successfully

How to play Apifox on Jenkins?

1.1 Install Nodejs environment

After opening Jenkins, we first need to install the NodeJS environment.The current version of Jenkins demonstrated is Jenkins 2.346.1, if it is an older version of jenkin, the access operation path is different

First select the System Management menu in the left menu of the dashboard panel, then select Plugin Management under the System Configuration module

Select the optional plug-in, and search for Nodejs and click to install

1.2 Global Tool Configuration

After installing the Nodejs plug-in environment, you need to set the relevant configuration of Nodejs in the global tool configuration. The following figure shows the entry of the global tool configuration

Then select the Nodejs version you want to run, if you are a window operating system, you also need to specify the running path

1.3 New project Job

After completing the above environment configuration, you have completed half of the process. Next, we create a task Job to implement automated testing of the interface.

After the task is created successfully, select the build environment in the job configuration and set the Node as shown below

After setting, select the build module (build), create a new build step, and select the type: Execute Shell

Finally, we copy the continuous integrationurl link generated by Apifox above into the Shell input box

After completing the above operations, we can run this task Job, click the console output to see the output result!The result met our expectations!

Last

The cost of automated interface testing in the last century was very high. If the project fails to pass automated testing to ensure the quality of the interface, relying only on manual testing will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also easily lead to problems!

Through the above introduction, we only need to use the url link provided by Apifox to run automated tests.Then integrate Apifox CLI into jenkins to achieve continuous integration of automated testing!Simply an artifact!
