CI Jenkins with Quantum

Learn how to deploy Jenkins as a Continuous Integration (CI) tool in your environment and observe test runs from the CI Dashboard in the Test Analysis view. Ideally, this configuration is performed by your Jenkins administrator. If there is no Jenkins administrator in your organization, perform the following steps yourself. This procedure uses a Hyper-V virtual machine. The code is uploaded to GitLab. If you have already deployed Jenkins, you can skip the first step.

For more details on integrating with Jenkins, see Add reporting to Jenkins.

Unlike with your other Perfecto projects, Quantum contains the code needed for CI enablement by default. It is part of the Listeners placed in the support project. You only need to pass the information from the Jenkins, Bamboo, or CI server you are using, as indicated in the following image.
