Kiuwan

The Kiuwan bundled plugin integrates with Kiuwan Software Analytics in the Cloud, an online code quality and security service.

If you are signed up to the Kiuwan service, use the plugin to track the quality and security of your changesets. This information can be visible in PulseUno reviews and reports.

Prerequisites

To use the Kiuwan plugin, ensure that the following prerequisites are fulfilled:

• You need an active account (username and password) for the Kiuwan service. You have logged in to the service and configured an application name for your stream.

• Install the Kiuwan Local Analyzer on the PulseUno server. For details, see the Kiuwan documentation.

Create the server configuration file

The Kiuwan plugin's server configuration file is required and is located in:

<pulse_data>/conf/experts/com.serena.starlight/kiuwan/kiuwan-pulse-expert.properties

Property	Description
kiuwan.agent.command	Specifies the full path to the Kiuwan Local Analyzer's agent launcher (agent.cmd or agent.sh not kiuwan.cmd or kiuwan.sh), for example: kiuwan.agent.command=C:\\KiuwanLocalAnalyzer\\agent.cmd
kiuwan.poll.interval	Specifies how often (in seconds) to check whether an analysis has completed, for example, 180.
kiuwanUsername	Specifies the username (email) to access the Kiuwan service. Note: You can specify the properties kiuwanUsername and kiuwanPassword when you add the Kiuwan plugin to a chain. But if you always use the same account, it is simpler to specify them in the server configuration file.
kiuwanPassword	Specifies the password to access the Kiuwan service.
kiuwanAnalysisApplication	Specifies the application name that has been configured in the Kiuwan account. Note: Normally, this property varies, based on the stream. But if you always use the same application, you can specify it globally in the server configuration file.

Configure the Kiuwan plugin

Because the Kiuwan Local Analyzer operates on source code files, add the Kiuwan plugin to a chain that populates a workspace.

To configure the Kiuwan step:

1. Add the Kiuwan step to a chain, as described in Create chains.

2. Enter the plugin configuration details:

   Field	Description
   Title	Enter a name for the plugin step or accept the default name.
   Username	Enter the username (email) for the Kiuwan account, for example, cibuild@example.com.
   Password	Enter the password for the Kiuwan account.
   Application	Enter the application name against which to register analysis results in your Kiuwan account, for example, Qlarius.
