Jenkins is an open source automation tool with plugins built for Continuous Integration purposes. Jenkins is used to build and test software projects continuously, making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project, and allowing testers to obtain a fresh build. It also enables the continuous delivery of software by integrating with a large number of testing and deployment technologies. To fully understand Jenkins and its role in software development, learning a DevOps course can help you integrate Jenkins into your development pipeline and optimize your CI/CD processes.
Jenkins integrates development life-cycle processes of all kinds, including build, document, test, package, stage, deploy, static analysis etc.
