Today we want to share with you the first of two blog posts on a recent project concerning an optimised workflow for the monitoring and evaluation of the Selenium integration test results from multiple environments in our pipeline. This initial article should serve as brief introduction to the business context, encompass the major pain points of the established test evaluation process and constitute the essential requirements for a technical solution. Furthermore, we will envision two solution approaches and discuss which option fits best our needs and therefore will be implemented.
The second post will seamlessly follow up and elaborate in-depth on the technical aspects of the implementation, but now let us start digging towards the core of the business challenge.

We implemented a Selenium test report database with Elasticsearch, Logstash, Docker, CircleCI and Jenkins to ease the test evaluation process in our Continuous Delivery Pipeline. Last week we already introduced you to the [background of the project](/blog/tech-stories/optimised-monitoring-and-evaluation-of-selenium-test-results/) and today we want to get your hands on the actual development steps. Hence, this post showcases the various parts of the implemented solution and discusses the pragmatic benefits for our pipeline and our speed-up for massive regression test evaluation.

To get the big picture for splitting the Scrum epic into several stories with tasks and acceptance criteria we created a visualisation, which could distinctly highlight the various parts that needed to be implemented. The first draft of the blueprint was sketched by hand and looked similar to this:

As you can see above, several components of our infrastructure will be affected and also involved throughout the development of this project. The middle tier shows the essential interdigitation of the underlying job chain in our pipeline. Usually, a CDP run involves several prepare jobs; then a huge amount of install and patch jobs are run in parallel on the various VMs of the vCenter (top tier). Afterwards a fingerprint of all machines is created and finally the ESF testsuite (and others) are run onto all vCenter VMs. Sometimes the testsuite is even running against an ePages VM before, during and after patching has started (zero-down-time tests), so don't take the blueprint to literally.

In the current state we use the [Elasticsearch Client](https://github.com/rdpatil4/ESClient){:target="_blank"} to monitor and analyse the test results. Here you can browse and filter the documents via dropdown menus for the index, which is our test object type (e.g. cdp-ui-tests) and the document type, which is the ePages repo id (e.g. 6.17.39). You can then narrow down the search with simple matches in the search field (e.g. only show tests with result FAILURE) or use the official [Lucence Query](http://www.lucenetutorial.com/lucene-query-syntax.html){:target="_blank"}, which supports boolean operators, range matchers and more advanced features similar to a regex. It is possible to edit every single test object within the client by double-clicking a tabular row. Therefore, the `note` field can be used to add information about the error, like the cause of the error and the corresponding JIRA issue id.

- Because the Earth’s axis is tilted relative to - its orbital plane, sunlight is incident at different angles at different times of the year. In June - the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, so at any given Northern Hemisphere latitude - sunlight falls more directly on that spot than in December. - Over thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, changes in Earth’s orbital parameters affect the - amount and distribution of solar energy received by the Earth and influence long-term climate. The - uneven solar heating (the formation of zones of temperature and moisture gradients, or ‘frontogenesis’) - can also be due to the weather itself in the form of cloudiness and precipitation. Higher altitudes - are cooler than lower altitudes, which is explained by the lapse rate. On local scales, temperature - differences can occur because different surfaces – such as oceans, forests, ice sheets, or man-made - objects – have differing physical characteristics such as reflectivity, roughness, or moisture content. |
