TestmetricsElixirClient

The official ExUnit client for Testmetrics. This client collects data about your ExUnit runs on CI and sends that data to Testmetrics so you can gain valuable insights about your test suite.

Installation

This package can be installed by adding testmetrics_elixir_client to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:testmetrics_elixir_client, "~> 0.1.0", only: [:test]}
  ]
end

Once you’ve done that, just add TestmetricsElixirClient to your ExUnit configuration by adding the following line to your test_helper.exs file:

ExUnit.configure(formatters: [ExUnit.CLIFormatter, TestmetricsElixirClient])

That will add TestmetricsElixirClient as well as the standard CLIFormatter.

In order for the metrics to be send to Testmetrics, you must have your Testmetrics Project Key set in the “TESTMETRICS_PROJECT_KEY” environment variable in your CI environment. If this environment variable isn’t set, the collected metrics for your CI run will be discarded. This key should be kept private and not exposed to the public.

And that’s it! Once those steps are done, you’ll start collecting data and seeing how you can improve your test suite!

Important note!

It is best to run your tests with the --preload-modules flag (added in Elixir 1.6.0), since that will preload all modules in all applications. This will make the measurements much more accurate.
