Jenkins

Jenkins is an open-source automation server extensively used in the software development lifecycle to automate tasks related to building, testing, and deploying applications. Originating as the Hudson project in 2004, Jenkins provides a robust and flexible system for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). It supports a wide range of plugins to integrate with various development, testing, and deployment tools, making it highly customizable to fit diverse project needs. Jenkins orchestrates and monitors the execution of jobs and pipelines, ensuring code changes are tested and deployed efficiently and reliably. This reduces integration issues and accelerates the development process, enhancing software quality and developer productivity. Jenkins’ scalability and extensibility make it a preferred choice for teams of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises.
