- A CI/CD pipeline, such as one running through Jenkins, produces a standard JUnit or NUnit XML results file after an automated test run
- FireCracker ingests that result file and parses the individual test outcomes it contains
- Those outcomes are mapped onto the corresponding Test Instances inside PractiTest's Test Sets & Runs module
- The results appear in PractiTest exactly like manually executed test results would, complete with pass/fail status
- Any Requirement linked to those tests has its coverage status recalculated based on the newly imported results
The practical effect is that a team doesn't need a separate CI dashboard to know whether automated tests passed, since FireCracker folds those results directly into the same traceability chain used for manual testing.
What file format does a CI/CD pipeline typically produce for FireCracker to import?
What gets recalculated after FireCracker imports new results?
