JUnit SQL Storage Plugin

Introduction

Implements the pluggable storage API for the JUnit plugin.

In common CI/CD use-cases a lot of the space is consumed by test reports. This data is stored within JENKINS_HOME, and the current storage format requires huge overheads when retrieving statistics and, especially trends. In order to display trends, each report has to be loaded and then processed in-memory.

The main purpose of externalising Test Results is to optimize Jenkins performance by querying the desired data from external storage.

This plugin adds a SQL extension, we currently support PostgreSQL and MySQL, others can be added, create an issue or send a pull request.

Tables will be automatically created.
