How to coordinate tests in remote machines with Jenkins?

Question

I am using Jenkins for my build and integration testing.

After build is completed, the build artifacts are deployed into the remote machines. I am using JMeter to perform load testing.

I also need to SSH into the boxes and then I need to run several commands.

I can use Expect command in Linux to Automate this for example, to log on to a remote machine and then to run the commands that I need.

However I have to support both Linux and Windows and I am not sure how I can do this Windows.

Can any one give any suggestions regarding this? Probably some Jenkins plugin can help here?

Could you run these commands as part of the build? – Lars Kotthoff Nov 22 '13 at 13:51 — Lars Kotthoff, Nov 22 '13 at 13:51
I need to run them after the build – Exploring Nov 22 '13 at 13:53 — Exploring, Nov 22 '13 at 13:53

Create a separate jobs your build and the test.

Control the trigger sequence by with Build Trigger > Build after other project are built.

or

Create another controller job, use parameterized tirgger pluggin to control the sequence of your whole execution.

Hope this helps ;D
