It will create interactive and comprehensive test reports. It provides a clear graphical report When we run automation tests each time . It will show Passed , Failed , Skipped , Unknown and Broken test results in different colors.
What is Jenkins?
Jenkins is a tool that is used for automation, and it is an open-source server that allows all the developers to build, test and deploy software.
a) Allure Report in Eclipse(Selenium)
Prerequisites
Steps To Install Allure In Eclipse
1. First I have created a simple maven Project in Eclipse.
2. We have to add The required Maven Dependencies in pom.xml from https://mvnrepository.com/ (Maven Repository)
3. Next we have to add Allure&TestNG dependency Latest version from Maven repository
<dependency>
<groupId>io.qameta.allure</groupId>
<artifactId>allure-testng</artifactId>
<version>2.20.1</version>
</dependency>
4. Next we have to download Maven and allure binaries then set path by manually in windows
* Maven
. WebPage - https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
. We have to select Binary Zip archive file download
. Extract the zip file and stored it in our local system.
. Set Path in Environment variables
. Then we have to cross check maven version in windows command prompt by giving mvn – version
*Allure
. Web Page - https://docs.qameta.io/allure/
. Select 2.1.Installing a commandline
. In 2.1.4 Manual installation click Maven central
. Multiple versions available there we can select the latest version which one is highlighted
. After downloading this extract the zip file and stored it in our system like same what we did for maven
. Set the path in environment variables
. For cross checking in windows command prompt have to give
allure - - version
5. Run the Project in Eclipse.
6. Refresh the Project by right click.
7. Now you can see a folder (allure-results) Should be created In your Project
but results will be in json file
8. For creating Allure- Reports
. Right click allure-results and get Properties folder path , copy it
9. In windows command Prompt
Type : allure serve “Paste Properties folder path” and press enter
10. It will re-route to a new Page there we can see allure Report . We can easily find all the test cases results by these views.
Allure Report Dashboard
The overview page hosts several default widgets representing the basic characteristics of your project and test environment.
1. Statistics – overall report statistics.
2. Launches – if this report represents several test launches, statistics per launch will be shown here. 3. Behaviors – information on results aggregated according to stories and features.
4. Executors – information on test executors that were used to run the tests. 5. History Trend – if tests accumulated some historical data, it’s a trend that will be calculated and shown on the graph. 6.Environmen t – information on the test environment.
1. Overview
2. Graphs
3. Categories in Allure Report
The categories tab gives you a way to create custom defects classifications to apply for test results. There are two categories of defects – Product Defects (failed tests) and Test Defects (broken tests).

Click on the OK button.
2. In the General section, enter the project description in the Description box and Select Source Code Management as None if the project is locally present on the machine.
3. In Build Management section
In the Root POM textbox, enter pom.xml.
