We are using Jenkins CI with UFT (unified functional testing} tool and use "EXECUTE HP TESTS FROM THE FILE SYSTEM" build step.

Our tests mostly for Web-service RESTful APIs, respond with XML/Json files and we retrieve these files and store them in the Results folder (e.g Res1, Res2, etc.) before doing any test validation or setting XML checkpoints.

Now the issue with HP Application Automation Tools plugin is that, it generate a "Report" folder and dumps all the UFT centric result files in it, but any other files generated from test itself like a response from
web-service are dumped in the actual test location, rather than in the "Report" folder.

Also, if i want to save the results/Report to any other location, i am not able to do so. I should be able to change or update the Test Results/reports location based on the needs.

Solution: a solution should be similar to when running the same test using "Test Batch Runner" (.mtb)

Test Batch Runner would create " C:\..\..\CRUD_Institution_ZMZ\Test_Location\Report\Report

Report will have all the response file from the web service along with the "Report" which has UFT centric files.

See Screen Prints.
