utPLSQL provides the following reporting formats.

Documentation reporter

The ut_documentation_reporter is the default reporting format used by the framework. It provides a human readable test results.

To invoke tests with documentation reporter use one of following calls from sql console (SQLPlus)

exec ut.run();

exec ut.run(ut_documentation_reporter());

You may also invoke unit tests directly from command line by calling.

ut_run user/pass@dbsid

Invoking tests from command line tool ut_run allows you to track progress of test execution. In that case, the documentation reporter will provide information about each test that was executed as soon as it's execution finishes. For more details on using the ut_run script look into utPLSQL-sql-cli project.

The ut_documentation_reporter doesn't accept any arguments.

Example outputs from documentation reporter.

doc_reporter_outputs

The documentation report provides the following information. - Test suite name or test package name (nested with suitepath if suitepath is used) - Test description name or test procedure name - Information about test failing (FAILED - n) - Information about disabled test (IGNORED) - List of all errors and failures - Summary with total number of tests, number of tests with status and timing for the execution

Color output from documentation reporter

When invoking tests with documentation reporter and your command line supports ANSICONSOLE (default on Unix) available for Windows, you can obtain the coloured outputs from the documentation reporter.

To invoke tests with documentation reporter in color mode use one of following calls.

exec ut.run(a_color_console=>true);

exec ut.run(ut_documentation_reporter(), a_color_console=>true);

Example outputs from documentation reporter.

XUnit reporter

Most of continuous integration servers (like Jenkins) are capable of consuming unit test execution results in XUnit/JUnit format. The ut_xunit_reporter is producing outcomes as XUnit-compatible XML unit test report, that can be used by CI servers to display their custom reports and provide metrics (like tests execution trends).

Invocation of tests with XUnit reporter.

exec ut.run(ut_xunit_reporter());

The ut_xunit_reporter doesn't accept any arguments.

Teamcity reporter

Teamcity is a CI server by Jetbrains. It supports XUnit reporting and additionally has it's own format of reporting that allows tracking of progress of a CI step/task as it executes. The TeamCity format developed by Jetbrains is supported by utPLSQL with ut_teamcity_reporter.

Invocation of tests with Teamcity reporter.

exec ut.run(ut_teamcity_reporter());

The ut_teamcity_reporter doesn't accept any arguments.

Sonar test reporter

If you are using SonarQube to do static code analysis for you PLSQL projects, your code analysis can benefit from code coverage and test results. utPLSQL provides two reporters to for SonarQube: - ut_sonar_test_reporter - provides an XML output of each test executed per each project test file (package) - ut_coverage_sonar_reporter - provides XML output of code coverage per each project source file

ut_sonar_test_reporter needs to be called with a list of paths to test files (packages). The paths to files can be relative to the project root directory (recommended) or be absolute.

ut_coverage_sonar_reporter needs to be called with a list of paths to source files for your project. The paths to files can be relative to the project root directory (recommended) or be absolute.

Providing invalid paths or paths to non-existing files will result in failure when publishing test results/coverage results to sonar server.

For details on how to invoke reporter with paths, see the Coverage reporters section.

Coverage reporters

utPLSQL comes with a set of build-in coverage reporters. Have a look into the coverage documentation to learn more about them.
