HP UFT/QTP integration with Jenkins

Installing Jenkins
First, you need to start Jenkins before installing it. This can be done from JNLP, or by
running "java -jar jenkins.war".

Now connect to Jenkins by going to the following URL http://<hostname>:8080/

Integrating Jenkins with QTP/UFT

We can integrate QTP/UFT with Jenkins starting version from QTP 11.0 to later versions
Once you are done with installation we can see HP Application Automation tools available in

line. Make sure that the paths are accessible from all machines in the local network.

For functional tests (UFT), you can also indicate a batch file that contains a list of
tests, along with their parameters. You can specify multiple tests, or the same test
several times with different parameters. Note that you can use Jenkins environment
 variables in the path names. The batch file should have an .mtbx extension and
follow this sample syntax.

<Test name="test1" path="c:\tests\APITest1">

<Parameter name="A" value="abc" type="string"/>
