Every developer’s nightmare is when their code malfunctions or breaks. Hours and hours of time spent on the code seems like a complete waste when they have spend extra hours trying to figure out why their code broke or which of their multiple updates were responsible. This is why continuous integration (CI) was incorporated, and more specifically developers trust Jenkins to help their CI needs.
Jenkins is an open source automation server that helps developers incorporate continuous integration in their software development process. Jenkins can be set up to automatically check the updates that are pushed through a repository and run tests to ensure that the codes run as they are supposed to, returning test reports before they are incorporated into the main coding file for the app or website.
Jenkins is a server based system that runs in a serverlet container such as Apache Tomcat or Maven and supports multiple tools including AccuRev, CVS, Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Perforce, Clearcase and RTC. Builds in Jenkins can be triggered in various ways including by committing it in a version control system, scheduling a cron-like mechanism, or even by requesting a specific build URL.
The best part about Jenkins is that you can add different plug-ins to extend it’s functionality to projects written in languages other than Java, as well as incorporate change to its look and feel. There are also plug-ins dedicated to generate test reports in different formats, making Jenkins easy to use and integrate into your everyday developing.
