OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform integration

This section explains how to integrate with OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform, an end-to-end, cloud-based value stream management solution that enables you to manage corporate strategy and connect it to actionable Agile initiatives.

Integration overview

Using this integration, you can stream performance results to OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform, providing a unified view of your application’s quality and test coverage in a single location.

OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform delivers end-to-end value stream management through a modular, cloud-based platform that supports the entire software product lifecycle, from strategic planning through delivery and execution.

The platform is AI-powered and integrates with both commercial and open-source development tools. By using ValueEdge, organizations can improve production efficiency, reduce risk, and maximize return on investment across teams and portfolios.

Its flexible design allows you to adopt a single module or the full platform, and customize it to meet your organization’s specific needs.

For details, see the OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform Help Center.

Prerequisites

As a result of the integration, you can view performance results in ValueEdge and easily move between the different modules. For details, see Modules in the OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform Help Center.

The following are the prerequisites for the integration:

A valid tenant in both OpenText Core Performance Engineering and OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform.
The same user configured in each tenant.

Request the integration

To request the integration with OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform, submit a service request and provide the relevant OpenText Core Performance Engineering and OpenText Core Performance Engineering tenant IDs.

After the integration is configured, providing you have the appropriate user permissions, you can access the OpenText Core Performance Engineering modules by clicking the OpenText Core Performance Engineering logo. Your tenant is available in the OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform Performance Engineering module.

Pipeline integration

In OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform, the CI pipeline, which is part of the OpenText Core Performance Engineering Quality module, represents the jobs or steps that run on your CI server. To learn more, see CI Pipelines in the OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform Help Center.

Note: The pipeline integration with OpenText Core Performance Engineering does not support a multi-branch pipeline.

To configure the CI pipeline integration:

Install the CI plugin for the relevant CI tool and configure it to run your load tests automatically. For details, see CI plugins.
Install and configure the OpenText Software Delivery Management CI plugin to collect information about your tests. For details, see CI server integration flow in the OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform Help Center.

Note: When configuring the pipeline, set the Testing tool type to Core Performance Engineering and the Test type to Performance.

View test data

When your automated tests have run, you can view data in OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform to learn more about them.

Path	Description
Quality Management > Pipelines > Overview	Shows a trend of the last pipeline runs, the correlation between code changes in the application module and test run results, how many of your tests ran successfully, how many were skipped or unstable, and how many failed.
Quality Management > Pipelines > Tests	Shows all the automated load test runs that were part of the selected pipeline run, and their OpenText Core Performance Engineering status. You can also see a direct link to the OpenText Core Performance Engineering report for the selected test run. If your CI tool is Jenkins, you can view the following information about failures in the Report section: The type of the SLA that was breached. The results of the worst performing transaction among those that breached the SLA. A link to the Jenkins Trending Report. This must be configured in ValueEdge. For details, see Create and configure pipelines in the OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform Help Center.
Quality Management > Quality Insights & Analysis > Dashboard	You can create custom widgets with data based on the automated tests included in a pipeline, and the CI pipeline configuration in OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform. To create the widgets, either select a pipeline that is dedicated for automated performance tests, or use the following filters: Testing tool type: Core Performance Engineering Test type: Performance For details on custom widgets, see Dashboard setup in the OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform Help Center.
