The document discusses Jenkins, an open source continuous integration tool. It describes how continuous integration systems like Jenkins help Agile teams by automating the build, artifact management, and deployment processes. Jenkins has core functionality and flexibility that allows it to fit into a variety of environments and streamline the development process. The document provides an overview of continuous integration and continuous build systems, describes what Jenkins is and how it works, and discusses how to get started using Jenkins.

4. CI - Defined
“ContinuousIntegrationisasoftwaredevelopmentpractice
wheremembersofateamintegratetheirworkfrequently,
usuallyeachpersonintegratesatleastdaily- leadingto
multipleintegrationsperday.Eachintegrationisverifiedby
anautomatedbuild(includingtest)todetectintegration
errors asquickly aspossible”– MartinFowler

5. CI – What does it really mean?
Ataregularfrequency(ideallyateverycommit),thesystem
is:
Integrated
Allchanges upuntilthat point arecombined intotheproject
Built
Thecodeis compiledintoanexecutableor package
Tested
Automated testsuites arerun
Archived
Versioned andstored so itcan be distributedasis, ifdesired
Deployed
Loaded ontoasystem where the developers caninteractwithit

7. CI – Benefits
• Immediate bugdetection
• No integration step in thelifecycle
• A deployable system at any givenpoint
• Recordofevolution ofthe project

8. CI – The tools
• Code Repositories
• SVN, Mercurial,Git
• ContinuousBuild Systems
• Jenkins,Bamboo,Cruise Control
• TestFrameworks
• JUnit,Cucumber,CppUnit
• Artifact Repositories
• Nexus,Artifactory,Archiva

9. Jenkins
Branched fromHudson
Java basedContinuousBuild System
Runs in servletcontainer
Glassfish,Tomcat
Supported byover 400plugins
SCM,Testing,Notifications,Reporting,
ArtifactSaving,Triggers,External

10. Jenkins - History
• 2005- HudsonwasfirstreleasebyKohsuke

• 2010 – Oraclebought SunMicrosystems
• Duetoanaming dispute,Hudson wasrenamed to Jenkins
• OraclecontinueddevelopmentofHudson(asabranchofthe original)
