Page History

Jenkins is an Open Source automation and orchestration engine. Jenkins offers a simple way to help automate the non-human parts of the software development process. Jenkins implements a continuous integration and continuous delivery environment for almost any combination of languages and source code repositories using pipelines, as well as automating other routine development tasks. Cloudbees Jenkins Enterprise (CJE) is a centrally managed Enterprise class version of Jenkins.

Features Include:

• • • • Continuous Integration: Commit changes to the source code in a shared repository several times a day or more frequently. Every commit made in the repository is then built.  This allows the teams to detect the problems early.
      • Add-On Plugins: Focus on typical Jenkins-related growth challenges faced by enterprises.
      • Agile Methodology: Deliver better products and optimize utilization of resources while getting rapid resolutions on issues.
