Today, we will know How to start Jenkins For Beginners Step By Step.

Jenkins is a powerful application that allows continuous integration and continuous delivery of projects, regardless of the platform you are working on. It is a free source that can handle any kind of build or continuous integration. You can integrate Jenkins with a number of testing and deployment technologies.

Prerequisites

Jenkins is a popular tool for performing continuous integration of software projects. This is a preliminary tutorial that covers the most fundamental concepts of Jenkins. Any software professional having a good understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle should benefit from this tutorial.

Why Jenkins?

Jenkins is a software that allows continuous integration. Jenkins will be installed on a server where the central build will take place.

What is Continuous Integration?

Continuous Integration is a software development method where team members integrate their work at least once a day. In this method, every integration is checked by an automated build to detect errors. This concept was first introduced over two decades ago to avoid “integration hell,” which happens when integration is put off till the end of a project.

In Continuous Integration after a code commit, the software is built and tested immediately. In a large project with many developers, commits are made many times during the day. With each commit code is built and tested. If the test is passed, the build is tested for deployment. If the deployment is a success, the code is pushed to Production. This commit, build, test, and deploy is a continuous process, and hence the name continuous integration/deployment.

Development without CI vs. Development with CI

Here are key differences between development using CI or without CI:
