Plugins overview

PulseUno includes an extensive set of plugins to use in chains.

Tip: You can add more chain plugins in addition to the standard PulseUno set. For details, see Use plugins.

Build

Use these plugins to run builds.

Ant	Runs an Ant build.
CM Build	If your team uses Dimensions Build and you have existing build configurations, you can run the configurations in PulseUno.
Dimensions CM command line	Enables you to enter dmcli commands.
GitHub Action Runner Emulation	Runs GitHub Actions commands, emulating a GitHub Action Runner.
Gradle	Runs a Gradle build.
Jenkins	A continuous integration server that you can use with PulseUno to run and report on builds of changesets as they are delivered.
Makefile	Runs a build using a makefile.
Maven	Builds and distributes artifacts.
MSBuild	Runs an MSBuild.
Script	Runs a batch script (Windows) or shell script (Linux).
Visual Studio Build	Runs a Microsoft Visual Studio Build.

Use these plugins to capture built artifacts.

Capture to DA CodeStation	Captures built artifacts to Deployment Automation CodeStation. These artifacts represent deployable items such as files, images, databases, configuration materials, or any other assets associated with a software project.
Capture to Dimensions CM	Captures built artifacts to a Dimensions CM stream.
Capture to Directory	Captures built artifacts to a directory.
Capture to SCP/SFTP	Captures built artifacts to a workspace using secure copy (SCP) or to remote network server using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

Use these plugins for Docker images and containers.

Build a Docker Image	Builds a Docker image in which you can run applications.
Run a Docker Container	Creates a Docker container in which you can run Docker images.
Run Script in Docker Container	Use a command to run a script in a Docker container that is running, without logging into that container.

Use these plugins to run a dependency analysis.

CycloneDx Dependency Detector	A lightweight software bill of materials (SBOM) specification designed for use in application security contexts and supply chain component analysis.
Maven Dependency Detection	Analyzes the dependencies of a project and determines which are: used and declared; used and undeclared; unused and declared.
npm Dependency Detection	Checks which modules you have used in your code and lists them as dependencies in your package.json.

Use these plugins to run Deployment Automation deployments and processes:

Deploy via Deployment Automation	Imports and deploys a component using Deployment Automation.
Run a Deployment Automation Generic Process	Runs a generic process in Deployment Automation.

Use these plugins to fetch sources from repositories.

Fetch from Dimensions CM	Fetches sources from a Dimensions CM repository.
Fetch from Git	Fetches sources from a Git repository.
Fetch from StarTeam	Fetches sources from a StarTeam repository.

Use these plugins to identify security vulnerabilities in your code.

Dependency Vulnerabilities	Finds third-party dependencies in your code that may have known security vulnerabilities.
Fortify on Demand GitHub Actions	The GitHub Action Runner Emulation plugin that is configured to run Fortify on Demand static code analysis, produce a SARIF results file, and parse the SARIF file to generate findings.
Fortify SCA	Analyzes the source code and identifies the root causes of security vulnerabilities using Fortify SCA (Static Code Analyzer).
Fortify ScanCentral SAST	Offloads the translation and scanning phases of code analysis to remote Fortify ScanCentral SAST sensors. Can publish the scan results to Fortify SSC (Software Security Center) and pull them from Fortify SSC to generate findings in PulseUno.
Fortify SSC	Uploads scan results generated by Fortify SCA to Fortify SSC (Software Security Center).
SARIF file parser	Generates findings from SARIF files produced by static code analysis tools such as Fortify.
WhiteSource	Identiﬁes all the open-source components and dependencies in your build, reports any known security vulnerabilities, and lists their licenses.

Use these plugins to analyze the quality of your code.

Checkstyle	Enforces coding standards.
Copyright header checker	Checks files for the presence of copyright statements or other snippets.
Kiuwan	Measures, analyzes, and verifies the quality of your code.
PMD	Analyzes source code and finds common programming bugs.
SonarQube	Inspects the quality of your code.

Use these plugins to run tests.

CTest Parser	Parses CTest results files.
JUnit Parser	Parses JUnit results files.
LoadRunner	Runs LoadRunner performance test scenario.
LoadRunner Cloud	Runs LoadRunner Cloud load tests.
UFT Developer Reports	Captures UFT Developer reports.
UFT One	Runs UFT One file system-based tests.
MSTest Parser	Parses MSTest results files.
NUnit Parser	Parses NUnit results files.
TestNG Parser	Parses TestNG results files.

These plugins provide statistics, notification, and other chain functions.

Changeset Summary	Counts the number of files added, deleted, and modified in each changeset.
Code Summarizer	Reports about lines in files, code languages, and other code-related information.
Email Notification	Sends email notifications to users.
Halt on Failure	Stops a chain if the previous plugin in the chain failed.
Microsoft Teams Notification	Adds a Microsoft Teams notification using WebHook.
Publish Results to ALM Octane	As part of the ALM Octane pipeline integration, sends the chain run results to ALM Octane. For details, see Publish chain results to ALM Octane.
Publish Results to GitHub	As part of the GitHub integration, sends the chain run results to a GitHub repository. For details, see Integrate with GitHub.
Run another chain	Runs another chain that you have created. For details, see Configure chains to run other chains.
