AssertThat have released our plugin for Jenkins the go-to dev-ops tool.

The Jenkins plugin provides integration between AssertThat's BDD & Cucumber plugin for Jira and your Test Automation Framework.


What Does the plugin do?

The plugin provides seamless integration for:


  • Downloading feature files from AssertThat's BDD & Cucumber plugin for Jira into your Test Automation framework before test run

  • Filtering features to download based on mode (automated/manual/both), or/and Jira JQL

  • Uploading cucumber json after the run to AssertThat's BDD & Cucumber plugin for Jira. Enabling you to view your test automated results alongside your user stories in Jira.


1. Installing the plugin


From Jenkins plugin manager, the plugin can be found at:

<https://plugins.jenkins.io/assertthat-bdd-jira>


2. Create credentials


The Jenkins plugin requires the following credentials for authentication:


* Project ID
