Abstract
The new CA Application Performance Management (CA
APM) plug-in for Jenkins helps organizations leverage CA
APM in the pre-production environment by integrating
with Jenkins, a popular continuous integration tools. With
this plug-in, the critical pre-production test data can now
be seamlessly brought into Jenkins and presented in a
unified cross-build or per-build dashboard. It enables the
app developers to configure build pass or fail conditions
automating the decision making process without any
manual intervention.

Jenkins Overview
Jenkins is an open source continuous integration tool written
in Java. The project was forked from Hudson. Jenkins provides
continuous integration services for software development. It
is a server-based system running in a servlet container such
as Apache Tomcat™1.
• Automates the Release Pipeline
• Thousands of plugins to accomplish various tasks
• Supports Distributed builds
• Extensible

Jenkins Terminology
• Project: A set of tasks that can be run together to accomplish a goal
• TixChange Func Test Project
• Task: A unit of work that is part of the project and can have pass/fail
condition to determine if the next task in the workflow can be
executed or not. Can also be used to determine overall project pass/fail
status
• Jenkins Plugin: Used to define a task

CA-APM Jenkins Plugin – Features
 Collect multiple KPI’s
 Configure multiple fail conditions
 Notify via email of build pass or fail
 Ability to only notify and not mark the build as fail even
if the fail conditions are met
 Ability to decorate ATC node with Build Number
and Build Status
 Ability to jump in context to APM Webview from Jenkins
build or cross-build dashboard

CA-APM Jenkins Plugin – How it works
 Utilizes Http plugin deployed on the EM to query EM
(easy xl toolkit)
 Deploy ca-apm.hpi in Jenkins (standard Jenkins plugin
deployment process)
 Shows up as a “post-build” task
 Configure key information like EM host, port, key metrics,
task fail/pass condition etc and save
 Will run as part of the project build and will mark the build
as pass or fail based on the configured condition
 Can pull past build information for comparison purposes.
The data is saved automatically by Jenkins

Demo – Setup
 Project Name – TixChangeEndToEnd
 Purpose – Run a complete Functional Test and Determine Build Pass
or Fail based on the configured condition
 Configured Jenkins Tasks
– SCM Task: Retrieves TixChange Build from Internal GitHub
– Local Build Task: Kicks of a Build
– Deploy Task: Deploys the build on appropriate servers
– Restart Task: Restarts the TixChange server
– Jmeter Task: To run Jmeter Tests
– CA-APM Task: collects test data, marks the build as pass/fail, displays it as per
build or across the build dashboards
