OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering CI plugin for Azure DevOps Server

The "OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering CI" extension integrates performance tests designed in OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LRE) projects with Azure DevOps Server pipelines.

Active Codebase

The extension is implemented in TypeScript / Node.js and lives entirely under angular/:

angular/
  vss-extension.json          # Extension manifest (publisher, version, files)
  LreCiTask/
    task.json                 # Azure DevOps task definition (inputs, execution handlers)
    index.js                  # Bootstrap entry point (Node version guard + polyfills)
    index.ts                  # TypeScript source of bootstrap
    src/lre/                  # LRE REST API client, authenticator, runner, downloader
    src/models/               # TypeScript entity interfaces
    src/utils/                # Logger, ArtifactManager, XmlUtils
    dist/                     # Compiled output (generated — do not edit)
    node_modules/             # Bundled runtime dependencies

The legacy C#/.NET projects (PC.Plugins.*, PC.TFS.BuildTask/) remain in the repository for reference only and are not maintained.

System Prerequisites

Requirement	Notes
Azure DevOps Server	2019 or later
Agent	v3.x recommended (bundles Node 20). v2.x agents on Windows also work via the Node 20 externals when present.
Node.js on agent	Provided by the agent externals — no separate installation needed
LRE server	Accessible from the agent host

Installing the Extension

1. Download Micro-Focus.PCIntegration-3.0.0.vsix from the GitHub Releases page or the Visual Studio Marketplace.
2. In Azure DevOps Server Administration Console → Extensions → Upload extension, select the VSIX.
3. Install it to your team project collection.

Running a Test from a Pipeline

1. Open your build pipeline definition and add the "Enterprise Performance Engineering Test" task.
2. Fill in the required inputs (server URL, credentials, domain, project, test ID).
3. Run the pipeline — the task authenticates, creates or resolves a timeslot, monitors the run, and downloads the result artifacts automatically.

For full configuration details see the documentation.

Developer Quick Start

# Build
cd angular/LreCiTask
npm install
npm run build          # compiles TypeScript → dist/

# Type-check only
npm test

# Package VSIX (output: angular/out/)
npm run package:vsix   # requires: npm install -g tfx-cli

See angular/LOCAL-TESTING-GUIDE.md for local test options and AGENTS.md for the AI coding agent guide.

Release Process

1. Edit release/deploy.txt: set enabled=true and version=X.Y.Z
2. Commit and push to master — the release.yml workflow updates all version files, builds the VSIX, creates a GitHub Release, then resets enabled=false
