Additional Prerequisites

The following tools and components are required to enable the full Selenic workflow:

IDE

Source Control

You can configure Selenic to share source control (SCM) settings with a connected DTP system. This enables DTP to read source control information and display JUnit and TestNG sources alongside test results reported to DTP in the DTP Test Explorer view. Selenic supports for the following SCMs:

  • Subversion
  • Git
  • Microsoft Team Foundation Server
  • No labels
