Kobiton – Jenkins Integration

What Is Continuous Integration

• Continuous Integration (CI) is a development practice that requires developers to integrate code into a shared repository several times a day. Each check-in is then verified by an automated build, allowing teams to detect problems early.

• Jenkins, the leading open source automation server, Jenkins provides hundreds of plugins to support building, deploying and automating any project. It is written in the Java programming language for testing and reporting on isolated changes in a large code base in real time. The software enables developers to find and solve defects in a code base rapidly and to automate testing of their builds.

Prerequisites

• CI tool is installed and set up properly. In this example, we will use Jenkins, which is a popular CI and easy to integrate with.
• NodeJS is installed from your Mac or installed through Jenkins Plugin Manager.
