How do I set Tests field in the dashboard when I use an unsupported unit testing framework?

[AmitB]

I am using cppTest for my unit tests. I would like to notify Bamboo that tests are running, such that the Tests field in the dashboard will not say "No tests found".

Is this possible?

XML format from CppUnit is not compatible with JUnit.

You can:

Try getting in touch with this guy: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/67647/bamboo-ondemand-c-coverage-profile-reporting-and-release-management .

or google for "xslt cppunit junit", some people prepared cppunit->junit output converters.

Yes, cppTest is able to generate reports in html. Can I just translate the JUnit and then enter it that way? Is there a more elegant solution?

Hi,

Is cppTest capable of outputting test results in some .xml format? I reckon there are Bamboo users who transforms theirs output formats to the junit test .xml format and use Bamboo JUnitTestResult parser task (I don't remember the exact name) to collect that data.
