Question

What is the process of Jenkins?

Answer 1

Jenkins automates the complete continuous deployment and delivery process through plugins. The process is as follows:

• Developers commit various source code changes to the Git repository.
• The Jenkins server keeps checking for repository changes and for every check-in, a build is done.
• Jenkins then deploys the built application to the test server (like Selenium). The test results are sent back as a feedback.
• Once all the tests are performed on the test server, the code is built on the production server.
• The feedback is again sent to the developer through the various levels (test server, Jenkins server, Git repo).
