Issue/Introduction

How does Jenkins plugin map the Build Step results for DevTest? 

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

N/A

Resolution

For Jenkins “Build Step result”, the plugin uses this mapping : 

Test                                                        ->            Build Step
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed                                                     ->            UNSTABLE
FAILED_TO_STAGE | ABORTED         ->            FAILURE
Others                                                   ->            PASSED
 

Note**
Whole build fails when the result of any tests is ABORTED/ FAILED_TO_STAGE, which can be consequence of system (devtest) failure, not test failure.
Single test failure (single build step) doesn’t break whole build, so other tests can be also executed.
