What is Bumblebee?
Bumblebee is a CI integration server for HP ALM — push test results from Jenkins, Bamboo, TeamCity, and IBM UrbanCode into ALM automatically.
Bumblebee is a standalone Java web application that acts as a bridge between your CI servers and HP ALM / OpenText ALM. CI plugins send test results to Bumblebee, which then publishes them to ALM based on your configured field mappings.
