selenium integration with Pega deployment manager
Hello,
Environment : Pega 8.3, Deployment manager 4.7, Jenkins 2.222.4
I'm currently working on automating deployment and have testing done as part of deployment.
I'm confused on configuring environment, could you please suggest what is best approach to integrate.
Approach 1)setup to integrate testing with deployment manager. I chose to integrate jenkins and have jenkins run the job .
Approach 2) I see that we can also use pega unit case and provide standalone server details for details. Thanks,
Anil

For running external selenium webdriver based tests, creating a Jenkins job and have it triggered from the deployment manager is the way to go.
For running pega units you can run them directly from deployment manager using the run pega units task. If you are referring to scenario tests, they can be run using Run Scenario tests task and by configuring standalone selenium server or using one of the supported third party vendors for browser based testing.

@konda when we Install Selenium Standalone grid in local machine , does the nodes created by the grid be accessible outside the machine ? like from other machine or from internet ?

@Adithya_Acharya I think that depends on how the selenium grid is configured. Please refer to selenium grid documentation to configure it appropriately.

@RajaKullaiahD3386 We can if you create a custom task implementation as shown in your pipeline. Custom task creation is supported from 5.x version of deployment manager. As part of the task implementation you will have to figure out how to connect to the external selenium grid and execute tests.

@konda I have created custom task to invoke activity and able to trigger the activity. But i'm not knowing how to invoke a Selenium test suite from that activity. I have attached the custom task step created in PegaDM. Run utility is the custom task created. With custom task , i'm customizing the activity RunTask which will call my TestAct to execute but in order to invoke the Selenium grid from here I need your inputs or suggestions Please find the attached RunTask customization.

@RajaKullaiahD3386 You will have to figure out the mechanics of how to invoke tests on selenium grid, possibly from selenium grid documentation. See if there are any REST API's that can be invoked. I was under the impression you already figured this out and are looking for a way to integrate with DM.
