Unit Test in C with Jenkins automated tutorial

As many others, I am new to Jenkins CI. But I am improving!

So... I have setup a build server at work, with Windows Server 2012 r2. I am trying to setup a unit test in Jenkins for my simple C code in Notepad++, but I can't seem to understand which plugin in Jenkins (perhaps xUnit?) and how to configure it.

Questions: What do I have to install and/or download? What do I have to put in all the fields? How do I do a get the unit test so it creates a report file in.... XML(?) Perhaps? Or other? Am I missing some sort of script? ( I have never done scripts). Or is it just to run my local unit test, but through Jenkins?

I would love a video tutorial for this. I have only found tutorials for Visual Studio CSharp, and that is not what I am looking for.

Thank you!

What do I have at the moment?

I have installed Jenkins at my localhost:8081. I have installed scm-manager for my repositories at my localhost:8082 (I am using GIT as source control) I have setup configuration/concection between my Jenkins project and my repository. The builds are triggered when pushed to master. This works fine.

When I do a clone I get these files with a Hello World program:

• helloworld.h


• helloworldTest.c


• A directory with the local unit test: simpleCtest (including the testfile tests.h)

I've downloaded that simpleCtest from http://ift.tt/1Po6dPR

helloworld.h

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

//Declaration
const char * HelloWorld();
const char * HelloJenkins();

//Definitions
const char * HelloWorld(){
     return "Hello World!";
}

const char * HelloJenkins(){
     return "Hello Jenkins!";
}

helloworldTest.c

// include test definitions
#include "simplectest/tests.h"
#include "helloworld.h"

// Start the overall test suite
START_TESTS()

    START_TEST("Hello World Test")
       ASSERT_EQUALS("Hello World!", HelloWorld())
    END_TEST()

    START_TEST("Hello Jenkins Test")
        ASSERT_EQUALS("Hello Jenkins!", HelloJenkins())
    END_TEST()

    START_TEST("Count World")
        ASSERT_EQUALS(12, strlen(HelloWorld()))
    END_TEST()

    START_TEST("Count Jenkins")
        ASSERT_EQUALS(14, strlen(HelloJenkins()))
    END_TEST()  

// End the overall test suite
END_TESTS()

When I compile and run my test code in the command window I get this output (some warnings, but that is not important).

I also get this in Jenkins if I do the exact same command in Jenkins-> MyProject -> configuration -> Build -> Add build step: Execute Windows batch command

gcc helloworldTest.c (compile)

a (execute)

**gcc helloworldTest.c**

In file included from helloworldTest.c:2:0:

Tests run:    4
Passes:       4
Failures:     0

... Later I also would want to setup code coverage for this. But that is a future issue.
