Publishing test results to DevOps Test Hub

The test result indicates the quality of the application under test. Different stakeholders to the application might want to check the quality of application but do not have HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) installed. You can publish the test result reports to HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) so that others can view it from a web browser.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:
  • Installed Test Hub and configured a project.
  • Logged in to Test Hub and copied the offline user token generated by using the Create Token option from the menu in the Test Hub Header. You must have copied the offline user token in the Test Integrations and APIs UI. For more information, see DevOps Test Hub Documentation.

About this task

You can configure the auto-publishing option for publishing test result reports to Test Hub by using the Project Settings menu option. When the auto-publishing option is activated, the test result report is automatically published to Test Hub whenever you run a test suite or test in Test Integrations and APIs.
