Hi Mark, I should be the one to apologize for not having made myself clear.
What is the JUnit format? Could you show me an example? Yes, I can write my tool to produce any formats to feed jenkins. My problem is I don't know WHAT format my tool should produce. I need a sample data file to show me the format, either CSV or XML. BTW, I don't know much about Java and/or JUnit. I just want to have jenkins plot a pie chart after EACH run of my tool which is implemented in perl. Please show me a sample data file. for instance, would the following formats work? CSV: pass,fail,skip 90%,2%,8% XML: <pass>90%</pass> <fail>2%</fail> <skip>8%</skip> If they work, what configurations do I need to do in "Post-build Actions"? Please show me the screen shots. For the links ou gave me, I wish I could see the configure page. Again, thank you so much, mark, for your time, effort, and help!
