CICD Made Easy - Jenkins

A great tool to automate your CI / CD process, but sometimes it still requires a bit of manual things to be done. 

Great free CI / CD tool 

Best CI/CD tool in the market 

* We have been using for Dev / Int / Prod deployment for Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment Jenkins for a long time and all I can say that everything is much more easier than the previous deployment procedure. 

Great  Continuous Integration Tool 

Overall, impressed by this tool that supports multiple languages, monitoring code quality, bugs and vulnerability detection. Also, integrates well with Jenkins, GitHub, etc.

Code Quality Assurance

Sonar cube has been used for Static code analysis and Has been built to Jenkins Pipeline, It allowed to identify huge amount vulnerabilities and helped us to improve our code quality to a great instant.

One of the Best tools to incorporate Security into Pipeline

Thank you for your review & feedback, Mohammed!

Popular tool for code smell search in the organisation's repositories

It's a great tool and be understood by experienced people more easily. 

Excellent code assurance tool

Overall experience with Sonarqube is pretty wholesome integration came handy with my CI/CD tools such as Azure Devops and Jenkins. Provides insights against vulnerabilities and common threats so that necessary actions can be taken by developers to ensure the security and good coding practices to follow. Features like PR decoration allows to get results in CI/CD tools itself if passed then only commit happens to master branch. 

Code Analysis and ensuing security against threats

My overall experience with sonar is good. It helps me a lot. Because our acceptance criteria are that there should be no blocker, critical or major issues, and the coverage should be a minimum of 95%.

Code Coverage and Issue Check

powerful code quality tool

Associate software engineer

It just need a good UI.I would like to recommend Jenkins for anyone who is wiling to do continuous delivery for their projects. This helps to reduce the workload of the developers.

Senior QA Engineer

I like the integrations with slack. It is great to get the alerts when there is a new build waiting for approval.

Quality Assurance

This tool is amazing and perfect for the teams that have continuous integration and continuous delivery. Simple to use and simplify our work.

Software Quality Assurance and Automation

The report contains all the passes and fails and screenshots of the failed test cases, the consumed time and the percentage of the passed and failed.

QE Lead

Having lots of intergrations in the project could delay slow down the execution sometimes. Parallel execution could cause problems or errors in the build.

Technical Support Analyst

This is one of the best deployment software I have ever used. The best thing it is very easy to use.

Director of Operations

Jenkins is very powerful and the fact that it's widely used and supported by a large open source community is a plus because it means that it supports many different kinds of environments.

Developer Team Lead

Using this tool my team have accomplish to automate all release steps for our products. It's easy to use, easy to configure and I like the notifications on failures or success.

Senior Software Engineer

This is a really great tool for storing, managing and scheduling ad-hoc scripts, i had a great experience with Jenkins.

A big number of useful plugins, sonarqube integration. Great documentation and maintainability.

Tech support Engineer

So far fantastic experience and perfect for our linux environments.

Vr Developer

Overall I am really happy and thankful to using Jenkins as a tool to manage my workspace.

Java Developer

As with any other similar tool, maintaining it is a nightmare if you do not do it regularly. It can break easily if plugin misbehaves.

Senior Consultant

As a software developer we used to deploy our builds to multiple servers and it was very hectic and lengthy process; thanks to open source tools like Jenkins the process has become quick and smooth.

System Architect

Top tool to integrate and save cost starting from day one of the project.

Error prone at time during execution. Logs are not properly configured for automated pipelines.

Software Engineer

It does everything the big boys do, but only at the cost of your server. The fact that it is free makes it worth every penny.

Territory Manager

It allow us automate our process. Some initial experience is required to use this open source software but help is available on the community forums.

SonarQube

Really good to detect bugs, vulnerabilities and code smells. And integration with popular CI/CD pipelines is really impressive.

Software Engineer II A

Calculate the quality of code and also helps to improve the quality by providing the solution.

Cloud Engineer

The ability to run up a Docker container with SonarQube and run static analysis on our codebase within half an hour was superb.

Jnr HR Business Partner

Vibrant customer service and interactive product demo. Their work is great and commendable.

Time was wasted initially trying to pass parameters into the cli command that had no effect. It turned out that some properties had to be set in a sonar-project.properties in the source repository.

Brings quality and professionalism in the final results. It is an impressive tool.

Data developer 

The biggest downside of SonarQube is that it can be difficult to configure and set up. It also requires a lot of manual configuration and maintenance.

Solution Architect

The setup with CodeCoverage is a nightmare and it seems is not working equallty well all the time.

Tech Lead

This is very good and user friendly application.

Staff Engineer 

Best feature of SonarQube is that it can be integrated with most of the applications, and it provides static code Analysis for both frontend and backend code.

Developer

We use sonarqube to get the code coverage of our spring projects. It is easy to use and free to use.

Developer 

If any small mistake happens then no result can be seen. We use traditional sonarqube where we install and integrate rather then plugin in jenkins.

The development process has been a bit slower than usual after SonarQube integration, but the quality and readability of the code is much better.

it specialist

The integration of libraries and the amount of languages is enough to work with and integrate with other DevOps applications which is easy. Everything is very intuitive including the initial setup.

Software Developer

In addition, their large community helps solve problems that arise along the way.

The only thing is that the UI integration could be improved.
