The "OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering CI" extension integrates tests designed in OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering projects with Azure DevOps Server pipelines' build.
To use this plugin you must have:
- OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering server designed to run load tests on Lab hosts.
- PowerShell version 4.0 or later.
Before you can run load tests as part of your build on a Azure DevOps CI build process, you have to install the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering CI extension on your Azure DevOps Server.
- Download the extension: you can either download the file "Micro-Focus.PCIntegration-1.0.4.vsix and upload it to your Azure DevOps Manage Extensions section (http://<tfs_server_and_port>/tfs/_gallery/manage)" or download it from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
- Install the extension to your team project collection.
- Go to the build definition of your Azure DevOps collection and add the "OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering task" to a pipeline.
- Provide the required input for the task. Note: To avoid conflicts with the way Azure DevOps manages secret input, this task performs minimal validations and therefore does not ensure the input is correct.
- Run the Azure DevOps CI Build.
This GitHub repository contains the following projects which are used to build the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering Plugin Extension for Azure DevOps:
| Project Name | Description |
|---|---|
| PC.Plugins.Automation | Project handling a build task. |
| PC.Plugins.Common.Test | Test project for PC.Plugins.Common project. This is a simple UI that requires some valid inputs to verify the functions defined and implemented in PC.Plugins.Common. |
| PC.Plugins.Common | Project with the most common Rest API operations used to trigger a load test, to monitor the run to the end of execution, to download Analysis and Trend Reports. |
| PC.Plugins.Configurator | Project supporting different types of functions called from PowerShell which trigger a build execution from PC.Plugins.Automation. |
| PC.Plugins.ConfiguratorUI | Similar to PC.Plugins.Configurator, this standalone tool has a UI in which you enter values to run a build execution from PC.Plugins.Automation. It then opens a PowerShell window to display the build progression. |
| PC.Plugins.Installer.CA | Custom actions definitions for PC.Plugins.Installer (currently empty). |
| PC.Plugins.Installer | Installer containing PC.Plugins.Common.dll, PC.Plugins.Automation.dll, PC.Plugins.Configurator.dll, and PC.Plugins.ConfiguratorUI.exe. |
| PC.TFS.BuildTask | Project defining the extension that will be used in Azure DevOps / TFS. |
