Issue Keeper

Issue keeper is a tracking tool which makes the tests skipped in advance when they are blocked by the open issues.

• Tracking systems - Bugzilla, JIRA
• Custom issue constraints depending on the environment and current test suite (operating system, database, jdk, remote API, etc.)
• Versioning - tests on older versions will be always skipped (though the issue is fixed in the new versions)
• Multiple issues discoverred in one test
• Skipping whole test classes
• Design and runtime configurations
• Integration with test frameworks - JUnit
• Offline mode (cache for 24 hours - customizable)
• Configurable issue tracking system states in projects (according to the unique workflows)

Configuration

Add the following Maven dependency into your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>link.bek.tools</groupId>
    <artifactId>issue-keeper-junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.12.4</version> <!-- corresponds to junit version 4.12 -->
    <!--<version>4.11.2</version> corresponds to junit version 4.11 -->
</dependency>

Add the following rule into your test class or the super test base, :

@Rule
public IKeeperJUnitConnector issueKeeper = new IKeeperJUnitConnector(new BugzillaClient("https://bugzilla.redhat.com"));

You are free to change the url of your tracking system.

Usage

Just add @BZ or @JIRA annotation on top of a test method or class.

@BZ("1155593")
@Test
public void runVerifiedIssueTest() {

@BZ({"1155593", "1203640"})
@Test
public void runMultipleVerifiedIssuesTest() {

Optional Configuration

ikeeperConfiguration.properties:

• Change of action
• Skip - reported issue causes skipping the test
• Fail - reported issue causes fail of the test
• DoNothing - all the tests run, no matter the issues
• Custom - you are free to decide whether to proceed testing or not
• Example: action=org.jboss.qa.ikeeper.action.Fail
• Set current testing version
• testVersion=6.0.2
• Set versions order
• versions=6.0.1,6.0.2,6.0.3,6.1.0
• Disable Issue Keeper
• ikeeper.run=false
• can be also configured as a system property -Dikeeper.run=false
• Configure action states
• JIRA@DEFAULT=NEW,OPEN,ASSIGNED,CODING IN PROGRESS,PULL REQUEST SENT,REOPENED
• BZ@DEFAULT=NEW,ASSIGNED,POST,MODIFIED
• JIRA@RHBPMS=NEW,OPEN,ASSIGNED,CODING IN PROGRESS,PULL REQUEST SENT,REOPENED,RESOLVED

ikeeperEnvironment.properties

• Set the running environment properties for comparison with the issue constraints
• Example:

os=RHEL6
jdk=OpenJDK7
db=PostgreSQL9.2

• Alternatively in the code:

issueKeeper.setEnvironmentProperties(envProps);
issueKeeper.setEnvironmentProperty("remoteAPI", controller.toString());

ikeeperConstraints.properties

• Set the constraints for the reported issues (e.g. the specific issue does not run on PostgreSQL9.2 but it does elsewhere)
• Example:

1107757-description=Test description of the issue 1107757.
1107757-os=RHEL6,Win2012
1107757-jdk=OpenJDK7

• Support for regular expressions using tilde:

JBPM-3558-db~=Postgre.*
