How to integrate custom test framework into Bamboo?

[antoine1fr]

I'm working on a project using a custom testing framework. How can I specify to Bamboo how to read the integration logs so that it recognises the tests' results?

If none of the existing parsers suites you (I'm talking about build tasks that perform parsing, e.g. "JUnit Parser", "TestNG Parser"), there are few options:

• create a script that will transform the report from one format to another, and then run this script before using one of the existing parsers
• you can look on the Atlassian Marketplace to seek for plugins that will introduce a new type of parser task, maybe one that will suite you

Or, if you'd like to create a new parser, you can:

1. create a new Bamboo plugin or extend an existing one,
2. implement a new test report collector (see links below),
3. create a new build task type that parses test results using the newly created report collector.
