What Is Jenkins?
Jenkins is an automation tool that helps automate the build, test, and deploy stages of a software application. Jenkins provides a very friendly user interface. Jenkins helps developers to easily build and test their code. Developers can know more quickly whether their code is properly working or not. Here the moment new code from developers is added to the version control system (like Github, Gitlab ), Jenkins automatically starts the pipeline and it builds and tests the code. If the new code correctly working developers will get build status SUCCESS and if the new code is not integrating properly with the old code then it will show build status FAILURE. Jenkins automates the software development cycle.
It automates various stages which helps in reducing any type of manual error and also improves efficiency. Apart from these Jenkins also provides a variety of plugins that help in the automation of pipelines. For example, it provides Trivy and OWASP plugins for testing the code. With each update, Jenkins is evolving and becoming more reliable for automating the software development process. In summary, we can say Jenkins has become an important tool for organizations and developers to accelerate their software development life cycle.
