Installing Code Quality Extension for Continuous Integration

Install Code Quality Extension for Continuous Integration to enable generating Java™ code coverage statistics and static code analysis statistics during project builds.

About this task

The way in which you install the code quality extension depends on your build system and target platform. Follow the installation procedure that corresponds to your environment.

Tip: To enable Java code coverage statistic collection on remote WebSphere® Application Server interactively from your workbench, install IBM® Rational® Agent Controller v8.3.5 or later on the computer running the application server. You do not need to install this extension.

Procedure

Decide which type of code quality extension that you want to install and which method you must use for your target platform. The choices are:

Option	Description
Install code quality extensions to the Build Toolkit for Rational Team Concert™ Server using IBM Installation Manager	Code coverage and static code analysis statistics are collected during build verification tests and displayed in the build results in Rational Team Concert Client. You can create work items directly from the code coverage results view. You can also generate reports of the code coverage and static code analysis statistics that you can download to your workbench. You must either have the Build Toolkit for Rational Team Concert Server installed or install it at the same time that you install the code quality extension.
Install stand-alone code quality extension for continuous integration using IBM Installation Manager	Use for build systems other than Build Toolkit for Rational Team Concert Server. You can collect Java code coverage statistics and then view them later in your workbench. You can also generate reports of the coverage statistics that you can download to your workbench.
Manually install Code Quality Extension for Continuous integration for z/OS®	You can integrate with Rational Team Concert Server or work with other build systems. As an extension to Build Toolkit for Rational Team Concert Server, the code coverage statistics are collected during build verification tests and displayed in the build results in Rational Team Concert Client. You can create work items directly from the results view. You can also generate reports of the coverage statistics that you can download to your Rational Application Developer workbench. For other environments, Java code coverage statistics can be collected and then viewed later in Rational Application Developer. You cannot use IBM Installation Manager to install the extension. CQECI does not support software analyzer on zOS
