Jenkins

Jenkins is an open source Continuous Integration (CI) tool. Jenkins can be used to do customized Continuous Integration builds while still allowing BuildForge to run candidate builds.

Creating a Pipeline Job in Jenkins

The purpose of a pipeline job is to create a Release Candidate (RC) build that has been unit and integration tested without having a separate CI build. The pipeline consists of several different job types for testing, building, and deploying the applications.

Pipeline jobs also differ from standard RC jobs in that they are created in the domain specific Jenkins masters. The jobs are created in a release folder under the /Release_Candidate folder.
