TestNG automation plugin #692

Kiwi TCMS needs a customized plugin for TestNG which will record test execution results into our database

Getting started docs

• https://kiwitcms.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/automation-frameworks.html
• https://kiwitcms.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contribution.html
• http://kiwitcms.org/blog/atodorov/2018/11/05/test-runner-plugin-specification/
• https://github.com/kiwitcms/junit-plugin
• https://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html

Notes

• Sections 5.18 TestNG Listeners and 6.2.2 Logging Reporters seem to document what we need here. (see TestNG documentation above)

Definition of done

• a class named org.kiwitcms.testng.Reporter which extends the org.testng.IReporter interface and is similar to KiwiTcmsExtension/TestDataEmitter from our junit-plugin linked above
• very likely we'll have to abstract the reporting functionality in a separate class so that junit/testng reporters will only use a single entry point to that
• ^^^ work is created in a separate repository
• necessary changes are sent as pull requests to the junit-plugin repository
• README.rst contains information about installation & configuration
• repository can be packaged as a maven package (see junit plugin)
• repository contains tests
• repository uses GPLv3 license
• code review & issues reported from Kiwi TCMS maintainers have been resolved
• repository has been transferred under https://github.com/kiwitcms organization
