## Uploading test case results
{: #upload-test-case}

To upload unit tests, functional verification tests or custom test data, use the following command:

```text
ibmcloud doi testrecord-publish --logicalappname "$MY_APP_NAME" --buildnumber "$MY_BUILD_NUMBER" --filelocation "./test-sample-folder/unit_test_mocha.json" --type=unittest
```
{: codeblock}

For a sample test result files that you can upload to DevOps Insights, see [this GitHub repository with dummy data](https://github.com/devops-insights/example-upload-data-format){: external}. 


## Uploading Code Coverage Results
{: #upload-code-coverage}

To upload Code Coverage results or custom code data, use the following command:

```text
ibmcloud doi testrecord-publish --logicalappname "$MY_APP_NAME" --buildnumber "$MY_BUILD_NUMBER" --filelocation "./test-sample-folder/code_coverage_cobertura.xml" --type=code
```
{: codeblock}

For a sample test result files that you can upload to DevOps Insights, see [this GitHub repository with dummy data](https://github.com/devops-insights/example-upload-data-format){: external}.


## Uploading IBM Application Scan reports
{: #upload-app-scan}

Users can get the report from the IBM AppScan CLI tool. Scan the application from the CLI to get the results in compressed file format.

```text
appscan.sh get_result -i $job_id -d "$APPSCAN_SCAN_NAME.zip" -t zip
```
{: codeblock}

Unzip the results in a folder and go to that folder, then upload a file called Report-final.xml

```text
ibmcloud doi testrecord-publish --logicalappname "$MY_APP_NAME" --buildnumber "$MY_BUILD_NUMBER" --filelocation "./Report-final.xml" --type staticsecurityscan
```
{: codeblock}

Change the type to `dynamicsecurityscan` if the report is from a dynamic scan.


## Uploading SonarQube results
{: #upload-sonarqube}

To upload data from SonarQube, you must provide the SonarQube server token by using `--token`. Your SonarQube server is required to be accessible from your CI/CD tool.

After you run a scan by using SonarQube, you can upload SonarQube results by running this command.

```text
ibmcloud doi testrecord-publish --logicalappname "$MY_APP_NAME" --buildnumber "$MY_BUILD_NUMBER" --filelocation ".scannerwork/report-task.txt" --type=sonarqube --token=$SONARQUBE_TOKEN
```
{: codeblock}

report-task.txt is a file that is generated during the SonarQube scan.


## Uploading IBM Vulnerability Advisor results
{: #upload-vulnerability-advisor}

To get the result of the vulnerability advisor scan from the CLI, use the following command:

```text
ibmcloud cr va ${PIPELINE_IMAGE_URL} -o json > vulnerability_advisor.json
```
{: codeblock}

You can get your image's repository and tag from the Vulnerability Advisor UI or in the CLI by using `ibmcloud cr image-list`. DevOps Insights accepts only the JSON output. You can upload Vulnerability Advisor output file to DevOps Insights by running this command.

```text
ibmcloud doi testrecord-publish --logicalappname "${APP_NAME}" --buildnumber "${BUILD_NUMBER}" --filelocation "vulnerability_advisor.json" --type vulnerabilityadvisor
```
{: codeblock}
