Running PyTest in Jenkins - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test runs a simple PyTest test case inside Jenkins. It verifies that Jenkins can execute the PyTest command and that the test passes successfully.

Test Code - PyTest

PyTest

import pytest

def test_addition():
    assert 2 + 3 == 5

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pytest.main(['-v'])

Execution Trace - 5 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Jenkins job starts and runs the shell command 'pytest -v'	Jenkins agent environment is ready with Python and PyTest installed	-	PASS
2	PyTest discovers the test_addition function	PyTest test runner lists test_addition as a test to run	-	PASS
3	PyTest executes test_addition	Test function runs and performs assertion 2 + 3 == 5	Assert that 2 + 3 equals 5	PASS
4	PyTest reports test_addition PASSED	Test report shows 1 passed test	Verify test result is PASS	PASS
5	Jenkins captures PyTest output and marks build as SUCCESS	Jenkins console log shows PyTest output with PASS status	Jenkins build status is SUCCESS	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: PyTest test_addition assertion fails or PyTest command is not found

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does Jenkins do first when running PyTest?

A Runs the shell command 'pytest -v'

B Directly marks the build as SUCCESS

C Skips test discovery

D Runs Python interpreter without PyTest

Key Result

Always verify that your test environment in Jenkins has the required tools installed and accessible before running tests to avoid command not found errors.
