Researching Integration of ART Test Cases into JCAT

Abstract: Ericsson AB is a world-leading provider of telecommunications equipment and services to mobile and fixed network operators. Ericsson uses continuous integration testing to ensure that their equipment is top tier market products. The Ericsson WCDMA division has one older Erlang based software testing framework called ART and a newer Java based framework called JCAT. This thesis work aims to find a solution for JCAT to execute ART tests and evaluate and log the test results in JCAT. This report describes the research results in executing ART from JCAT, gathering ART test case result data and sending it back to JCAT as well as a describing a proof of concept implementation using the research results. The suggested solution runs the ART tests by executing a Bash script. The communication was solved by using an event handler which gathers data from the ART tests and sends it back to JCAT using Erlang node communication. The result is a solution which satisfies the requirements specified. If the implementation were to be used in a production environment it would still need some future work.
