Guidewire CI Integration

Overview

Configure continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines for Guidewire InsuranceSuite projects using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.

Prerequisites

• Git repository with Guidewire project
• CI/CD platform access (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps)
• Guidewire Cloud Console access for deployment credentials
• JDK 17 and Gradle available in CI environment

Instructions

Step 1: GitHub Actions Workflow

Create .github/workflows/guidewire-ci.yml with jobs for build, test (with PostgreSQL service), security scan (CodeQL + OWASP), and environment-gated deployments to sandbox and production.

Step 2: Jenkins Pipeline

Create a Jenkinsfile with parallel code quality stages (Gosu check + SpotBugs), test reporting with JUnit and JaCoCo, and manual approval gate for production deployment.

Step 3: Gradle Build Configuration

Configure build.gradle with JaCoCo (70% coverage minimum), OWASP dependency check (fail on CVSS 7.0+), SpotBugs, and a unified ci task that runs all checks.

Step 4: Test Utilities

Create a CITestBase class with database health checks, test data cleanup for TEST-* prefixed accounts, and conditional slow-test skipping in CI.

Step 5: Deployment Script

Write deploy-to-cloud.sh that authenticates via OAuth2, uploads the configuration package ZIP, and polls deployment status until complete or failed.

For complete workflow files, Jenkinsfile, Gradle config, and deployment scripts, load the reference guide: Read(${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation-guide.md)

Output

• GitHub Actions workflow file
• Jenkins pipeline configuration
• Gradle build with CI tasks
• Test utilities for CI environment
• Cloud deployment script

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
Build timeout	Long-running tests	Increase timeout or parallelize
Database connection failed	Service not ready	Add health check wait
Deployment failed	Invalid package	Check build artifacts
Test flakiness	Race conditions	Add proper test isolation

Examples

Basic usage: Apply guidewire ci integration to a standard project setup with default configuration options.

Advanced scenario: Customize guidewire ci integration for production environments with multiple constraints and team-specific requirements.
