Installing ReadyAPI on a Jenkins EC2 instance using X11

-

This includes the steps to get ReadyAPI (with licence) running on an AWS EC2 instance and the commands needed to run the Jenkins job 



  • Login via SSH as ec2-user 
  • Install Java x64 to /opt/jdk1.7.0_67/:

 sudo -s  
 cd /opt  
 wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u79-b15/jdk-7u67-linux-x64.tar.gz  
 tar zxvf jdk-7u67-linux-x64.tar.gz  
 rm jdk-7u67-linux-x64.tar.gz

  • Install X11 Virtual Frame Buffer (for running headless tests in Jenkins):

 sudo yum install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb

  • Ensure X11 forwarding is enabled for SSH server:

 X11Forwarding yes

  • Prepare the Ready! API install directory:

 sudo mkdir /data/app/ReadyAPI-1.3.1  
 sudo chown jenkins:jenkins /data/app/ReadyAPI-1.3.1

  • Reconnect the server using the user that will be using Ready! API (in this case "jenkins") with X11 forwarding enabled on the client:

 ssh -X -i ~/.ssh/AmazonKeys.pem jenkins@{jenkins URL}

  • Download the latest version of Ready! API to the server:

 wget http://dl.eviware.com/ready-api/1.3.1/ReadyAPI-x64-1.3.1.sh  
 Downloads can be found here http://support.smartbear.com/downloads/readyapi/

  • Ensure that the installer is executable:

 chmod +x ReadyAPI-x64-1.3.1.sh

  • Run the installer from the command line: (This will open the installer windows in your local X session)

 ./ReadyAPI-x64-1.3.1.sh

  • In the installer, ensure custom install is selected and choose the install path /data/app/ReadyAPI-1.3.1 Once installed, run Ready! API from the command line:

 /data/app/ReadyAPI-1.3.1/bin/ready-api.sh

  • Wait for the GUI to load in your local X environment (may be a little slow). Register the product in the GUI. Running tests suites in headless mode To run tests in headless mode we need to start Xvfb before we start the build:

 /usr/bin/Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x24 &

  • Then include this script (execute shell)in your Jenkins job:

 #!/bin/bash  
 export DISPLAY=:0.0  
 export PATH=/opt/jdk1.7.0_67/bin:$PATH  
 export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.7.0_67/bin/java  
 /data/app/ReadyAPI-1.3.1/bin/testrunner.sh -e http://{URL}:{Port}/ -s{Suite} -c{testcase} -r -j -fTestReports -I {readyAPI tests}.xml

      Hi, Depends on your use case.

      A lot of this can now be done with Postman. However ReadyAPI does have some nice features. Not to difficult a sell for most businesses

Installing Testlink (Test Management Tool) on Ubuntu 12.04 (AWS EC2) with URL Rewrite

-
Image
After finding scattered offerings when it came to installing Testlink on Ubuntu i decided to document the process. Heres the rundown:

Create a new micro instance (ubuntu 12.04) using the ‘select existing’ key pair, if you don’t have an existing create a new one and name it something memorable and download it to a folder that’s easy to get too.



Create a security group and set the inbound ports to be the following:



Go to your instance page and right click on the instance just created and choose “Connect” Select “Connect with a standalone SSH Client”
copy the example in the popup window. Eg
·ssh -i scottyg_au.pem ubuntu@54.213.211.63
Open up terminal (Mac) or Cygwin (PC)
Cd to the folder with the .pem file You need to modify the permissions on the .pem file, do this by running
·chmod 400 ‘xx.pem’. Eg chmod 400 scottyg_au.pem
Paste in the ‘ssh’ command into your terminal ssh -i scottyg_au.pem ubuntu@54.213.211.63

Type “yes” when prompted to add the key to the known hosts

On the Ubuntu Instance:

We will be using a hosted Ubuntu server so an AWS account is required
After creating an AWS account and accessing the console be sure to change the region from default to create the instance in the closest zone :

Select EC2 Select Launch Instance
Choose Ubuntu Server (build 14.04 at this current time):





Choose the default “Free Tier eligible’ instance Leave the defaults and select ‘review and launch’ (I selected auto assign public IP)
Edit the Security groups to allow traffic in:
Namely port 8080 for jenkins (default port) Port 22 for ssh access


The security groups should look something like this:
