Globalyzer CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery)

What is Globalyzer Lite and Globalyzer CI/CD?

Globalyzer Lite is the product created using the Globalyzer API that allows users to scan code and create reports without having to use the Globalyzer Workbench or set up a database. In the Lingoport Continuous Globalization Server, Globalyzer Lite (Globalyzer CI/CD) is an integral part of the process to create reports that are displayed in the Lingoport Dashboard showing the number of internationalization issues detected.

Using Globalyzer Lite in a Continuous Globalization System

If the Lingoport Continuous Globalization System was installed and configured using the Stack Installer or Stack Updater, then Globalyzer Lite has already been integrated into the system.

1. Check in a project definition file into source control.
2. On-board a Jenkins project for the code base using one of the templates.
3. Check the Lingoport Dashboard and verify that the results are shown.

Globalyzer Lite is easy to integrate into Continuous Integration (CI) systems. For instance, using Lite from Jenkins can be done through the following steps:

1. Check in a project definition file into source control (or, if you prefer, place one in the Jenkins server's filesystem).
2. Run the following from Jenkins' shell:

   java -jar globalyzer-lite.jar -f "${WORKSPACE}/GlobalyzerProjectDefinitionFile.xml" --project-path "${WORKSPACE}" --report-path "globalyzer-lite-reports"

3. Use the Lingoport Dashboard to display the results from the generated reports.

You may also pass the reports to your own reporting system.
