Jenkins Integration
01
Jenkins, created in 2011, is an open source tool for continuous CI/CD integration and deployment.
It is a solution that automates certain phases of application development such as :
- Build
- Tests
- Deployment
Thus, after any changes made to the code, the recompilation is done automatically. This is followed by automated testing via the integrated JUnit framework, which alerts developers in the event of an anomaly.
Jenkins is developed in Java and can be used on any platform, including the cloud. It runs on its own web server, or via a servlet container (e.g. Apache Tomcat).
Finally, Jenkins offers more than 1700 plugins, including the Jenkins Pipeline, via its Update Center. These releases are regularly updated and can be customized and integrated with other DevOps tools.
