SeaLights Integration Examples

SeaLights back-end API

Running tests with SeaLights custom integration requires several steps:

• initialization of a test session
• reporting executed tests to SeaLights
• closing the test session

Each of these steps is done by calling an appropriate SeaLights endpoint. See the full API documentation for details.

Below is an overview of these steps, refer specific examples for solution details (list of the examples is at the bottom).

Test session

All the tests are reported within the context of a given test session. To create a test sessions send a POST request to the endpoint:

/sl-api/v1/test-sessions

The request body:

{
    "labId": "lab id",
    "testStage": "test stage",
    "buildSessionId": "build session id"
}

It is up to you to provide a labId and testStage, the names should reflect the actual environment and the type of tests, e.g. Unit Tests, Integrations Tests etc. The buildSessionId has to be obtained separately.

The response contains the testSessionId field. Use this id to report tests for the given test session.

For proper integration the test session has to be closed after all tests have been executed. To close a test session send a DELETE request to endpoint:

/sl-api/v1/test-sessions/{test-session-id}

Reporting test results

After a test (or possibly multiple tests) execution reporting the results is done via the test session endpoint by posting an array of result elements.

The endpoints URL is:

/sl-api/v2/test-sessions/{test-session-id}

The payload is an array of results:

[
  {
    "name": "the test's name, by which it'll be identified in SeaLights",
    "status": "the test result status which is one of the following strings: 'passed', 'failed', 'skipped'",
    "start": "the Unix Epoch timestamp (current millis) of the test's start",
    "end": "the Unix Epoch timestamp (current millis) of the test's end",
  },
  ...
]

Test Optimization

In addition to reporting tests, the SeaLights back-end API allows also to use the powerful Test Optimization feature. To obtain a list of excluded tests send a GET request to

/sl-api/v1/test-sessions/{test-session-id}/exclude-tests
