Description / Abstract

Submitted to the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science

A system for running Continuous Integration (Cl) testing on a commercial software package called Device Manager, created at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc., was created using Bamboo, an enterprise business tool from Atlassian. This system utilizes existing tests and makes them compatible with Bamboo. The system uses Windows commands to utilize file operations on the host system and pulls files down from code repositories. The CI machine builds the solution using a code base, then runs tests if the build is successful. The system runs through two types of tests. First, it executes several thousand unit tests, which test source code functionality. Second, the CI machine records all the test results and build files and publishes them as artifacts that a user can download and utilize for debugging or manual testing. The CI machine was completed and successfully runs on each new build of the software, providing pass or fail values for tests that were run, which gives Software Engineers the knowledge needed to correct or maintain the software's codebase.
