1 Way to Integrate Applitools Eyes with Jenkins

Introduction

In an older post we talked about Applitools Eyes. What is it? It is an automation testing tool that will check all visual aspects of the application from a given screen, meaning that we don't need to write separate tests for each UI element on the screen. The tool provides easy integration with different test tools and frameworks like Selenium, CodedUI, HP QC, etc

Jenkins Integration

You can create a job that is running only tests having category = "Applitool". If a test fails, you will notice in Jenkins an error with a link to Applitools eyes site, that will load applications's UI, where you will be able to evaluate the test result, accept/reject changes, etc.

But, if there are several failures in the application, clicking on every link will be annoying. That is why, we can use Jenkins plugin, we will be able the integrate applitools ui directly in Jenkins.

Applitools Eyes Plugin

Go to Jenkins --> Manage Jenkins --> Manage plugins and install this plugin.
Go to Applitools job configuration and Build Environment check Applitools Support

Go to your project solution and add this:

and, before instantiating Eyes driver, do this:

Then run your job. Applitools Eyes will be integrated inside Jenkins. There you be able to accept/reject changes, etc, directly in Jenkins.
