Q:

Give a simple use case/scenario to explain how Jenkins works.

Answer 1

Below is a simple use case/scenario to explain how Jenkins works

• Let us say a developer is working on some code changes and eventually commits them to the repository.
• Jenkins server, which constantly checks for changes in the repository, detects the change and pulls the changes to trigger a build.
• The build can fail, in which case the developer is informed with reports.
• If the build passes, it is deployed on to the test server.
• Once the testing is complete, a test report is generated and sent to the developers. This process continues till all the tests are successful, after which code is deployed to production.
