You need to install Jenkins in order to execute offline package using Jenkins.

Jenkins Installation

Follow the below-mentioned steps to install Jenkins.

  1. Download Jenkins and JRE 6, 7/JDK 1.6, 1.7.
  2. Install JRE 6, 7/JDK 1.6, 1.7.
  3. Open the Command Prompt window and browse to the bin folder where JRE 6, 7/JDK 1.6, 1.7 exists.
  4. Execute command java -jar “<Jenkins installation location>\jenkins.war” httpport=<port number>.

    The default port is 8080.

    If Jenkins version is greater than 1.651 then execute the following command:

    java -Dhudson.model.DirectoryBrowserSupport.CSP= -jar “<Jenkins installation location>\jenkins.war”.

    The reason for the change is Jenkins 1.625.3 introduced the Content-Security-Policy that disables DirectoryBrowserSupport due to which Qualitia HTML report cannot get published.

    Please note that Jenkins needs to be started using above command only. If you use Jenkins as service, you won’t be able to see the browser during test case execution.


    Post successful execution of the command, a message is displayed confirming Jenkins installations in the Command Prompt window.

  5. Open URL:http://localhost:8080.
    This launches Jenkins’ home page.

If client and server are two different systems then the client should be run manually using the command prompt with the administrator privileges (i.e. Run as Administrator).

Once installed successfully, configure Jenkins for execution following below-mentioned steps.

  1. Navigate to URL:http://localhost:8080.
    This launches Jenkins homepage.
