Thank you, Mark. I visited the link you gave me. But I don't see any charts/plots there. Maybe I misunderstood you?
My tests are not JUnit tests. Here is what we do at work: I developed a cmdline test tool in perl. This tool tests whether our nightly builds (in perforce, mainly c codes at kernel level) can be installed on 100+ Linux hosts. So it is merely a smoke test. My tool can compile a report in html format which lists pass/fail/skip on every host with links to the detailed log files. I have configured my test tool run through Jenkins. What I am trying to do now is as follows: Besides publish the html report, it would be nice to draw a pie chart to show the results visually, such as 90% pass (in green), 2% fail (in red) and 8% skipped (in yellow). But I don't know -- 1) How to format the data for Jenkins to use? CSV of XML? Please show me smaple files. 2) What plugin to use? I guess it might be either plot plugin or dashboard view plugin? 3) How to configure my jenkins to read the data file? Please show me what-to-do/how-to-do step by step with screen shots. All I know is that this has to be done in "Post-build Actions" stage. In addition, I have read this book: "Jenkins Continous Integration Cookbook" by Alan Mark Berg: http://s1.downloadmienphi.net/file/downloadfile7/171/1380449.pdf The book has an example and I could make it work on my jenkins. However, the book also says (pp. 91): "There are currently two other data formats that you can use: XML and CSV. However, until the online help clearly explains the structures used, I would recommend staying with the properties format." That's exactly what I need, I guess. :( Again, thank you, Mark. Your help is highly appreciated. Have a wonderful 2014.
