Configuring Rational Functional Tester (RFT) to run in Hudson / Jenkins

Question

I just installed Hudson and it works beautifully. It builds, runs JUnit tests, as well as CheckStyle analysis.

The next step for us would be to create an installation, install it, and then run automatic tests on the actual installation. Then I would like to fail the assembly if the tests fail or at least publish the results. I think we would configure it so that the part is performed periodically or manually.

We use InstallAnywhere for installation and IBM Rational Functional Tester for automated tests.

So the questions are: did someone create a similar setup? are there any plugins, tutorials or other resource that could help me. Or do you have any tips or advice at all.

Answer 1

We did a fairly complex distributed build on Hudson, a process that basically follows:

• Test on Windows.
• Test on OSX, launch code coverage and output the results to the server.
• Test on OSX Tiger.
• Package for OSX Leopard and click build on the server.
• Package for Windows and click build on the server.
• Refresh the product website.
