Running Automated Builds and Tests
How Is Jenkins Used for Continuous Integration?
• Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development practice
where developers integrate code into a shared repository frequently,
usually several times a day. Jenkins is an open-source automation
server that facilitates CI by automating the build, testing, and
deployment processes.
• With Jenkins, developers can easily detect and fix integration issues
early, improving collaboration and accelerating software delivery. By
continuously integrating code, teams can maintain a high level of code
quality, reduce development time, and minimize the risk of release
failures.
Continuous Integration Features in Jenkins
Continuous integration involves the automatic building and testing of code
whenever changes are committed to the version control system. Jenkins provides
several features that facilitate CI, including:

• Version control system integration: Jenkins integrates with various version


control systems (VCS) such as Git, Subversion, and Mercurial. This allows
Jenkins to monitor repositories for changes, trigger builds, and incorporate
updates automatically.
• Build automation: Jenkins supports build automation using build tools like
Maven, Gradle, and Ant. It can compile, package, and deploy code, ensuring
that the latest changes are continuously integrated into the software project.
• Automated testing: Jenkins can execute automated tests for each build, using
testing frameworks like JUnit, TestNG, and Selenium. This ensures that any
issues introduced during development are quickly detected and reported,
allowing developers to address them promptly.
• Pipeline as code: Jenkins Pipeline allows users to define their entire CI/CD
pipeline as code using a domain-specific language called “Groovy.” This
makes the pipeline easily versionable, shareable, and more maintainable.
Distributed builds: Jenkins supports distributed builds across multiple build
agents, which allows for faster and more efficient build processes by distributing the
workload across multiple machines.
Plugins and extensibility: Jenkins offers a vast ecosystem of plugins that extend its
functionality, allowing users to customize and adapt Jenkins to their specific needs.
Plugins are available for various tasks, such as integrating with different VCS, build
tools, notification systems, and more.
Notifications and reporting: Jenkins can send notifications through various
channels like email, Slack, or other messaging systems to keep the team informed
about build status, test results, and potential issues. It also generates reports and
visualizations for various metrics, such as test results, code coverage, and build
trends.
Access control and security: Jenkins provides fine-grained access control and
user management, allowing administrators to control who can access specific
projects, pipelines, or configuration settings. It also supports integration with
LDAP and Active Directory for centralized user management.
REST API: Jenkins exposes a REST API that enables users to interact with
Jenkins programmatically, allowing for integration with external tools,
automation, and custom applications.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Using Jenkins for CI
Jenkins CI offers numerous benefits that can streamline software development
processes and improve overall efficiency:
• Shorter development cycles
• Fast code integration
• Short feedback loops
• Automated workflows
However, there are potential concerns associated with using Jenkins
CI:
• Expense
• Maintenance
• Not cloud native
