[Anthill-pro] RE: Publishing to Build Life Test Tab

[Eric Minick]

Mark,

Another XML based alternative is to rejigger your output into the XML
format of any tool AnthillPro already integrates with like JUnit or
NUnit and run the step for JUnit or NUnit to publish the results. The
downside is that Anthill will report the type of the tests incorrectly
there.

Eric,

We should be able to just cut you a development license for that test
box. I'll get the ball rolling.

You do have to produce XML to use in the format accepted by ahptool.  That is less complex than writing the Java code.

According to the documentation, this requirement goes away with a development license, but I've never seen or had one.  I can't even upload a plug-in with the license we currently have on our development server.  Clearly, developing a plug-in with the signature requirement is not feasible.  I may follow up on this with support as I have time.

I've also used a similar pattern to populate the coverage tab for MSTest and NCover.  The source analytics tab can also be populated in a similar way.
