Apart from building the software, Jenkins can be deployed to set up an automated testing environment where Selenium WebDriver tests can be run unattended based on a defined schedule, or every time changes are submitted to the version control system.

In the upcoming sections, you will learn how to set up Jenkins to run tests using a free-style project template.
