Overview of this book

<p>In agile development practices, developers need to integrate their work frequently to fix bugs or to create a new feature or functionality. To integrate all work efficiently and verify it is an error-prone and time-consuming manual task. Jenkins is used specifically for continuous integration, helping to enforce the principles of agile development.</p> <p>This book begins by tackling the installation of the necessary software dependencies and libraries you'll need to perform continuous integration for a Java application. From there, you'll integrate code repositories, applications, and build tools for the implementation of continuous integration. Finally, you'll explore the automated deployment of an application in Tomcat, along with details on managing and configuring Jenkins based on your requirements by using plugins.</p>

Summary


We are again at the part of the chapter that gives us a sense of achievement. In this chapter, we have covered how to customize the Jenkins dashboard and display test results based on the build job on the dashboard. We have also created our first build job for a sample Java application. We used build tools such as Ant and Maven for executing build and create artifacts. Finally, we have seen how test cases can be executed, and results can be displayed on the Jenkins portal.

In the next chapter, we will deploy the application to application server directly from Jenkins, and we will also cover an introduction to deploying applications on Amazon Web Services.
