Jenkins Review - Automation perspective

Reviewed 5 years ago

Overall i like Jenkins as a tool very powerful one for CI CD implementation in day to day life.

Pros

First and foremost thing Jenkins is open source & now a days lot of plugin support for Jenkins makes CI - CD pipeline runs quite smooth with out any hick-ups. Jenkins supports all major version control and user can add native scripts to make runs in pipeline smooth. Also Jenkinsfile in groovy will trigger particular build automation runs (unit, integration, api or UI automation scripts) as soon as new code has been checked in helps a lot in finding bugs in early stage of SDLC. Also user can trigger nightly automation runs and by morning results will be ready.

Cons

When user is using some reporting like Allure , Extent JS report etc. which heavily relies on Javascript to render beautiful reports. As Jenkins due to some security reasons do not allow JS rendering by default user needs to turn off few things to see reporting. Some time Jenkins may become slow when more jobs are in pipeline and can delay work and may require admin to jump on bounce server nodes.

I love you, Mr. Jenkins!

Since when we adopted Jenkins (back in the middle age), our lives changed drastically for better! Today it is a vital piece in our CI/CD pipeline. Jenkins allows us to deliver better software, as we can identify almost on the fly automatic testing problems or building / integration errors.

Pros

Easy to install, manage and use. Dashboard very intuitive. Learning curve is very short , a walk on the park!

Cons

Difficult to say what I don´t like. Maybe the logo showing a guy using a red bow tie. Or wait! I got it! He is like a James Bond / 007 agent disguised, ready to find, kill, eliminate blockers and bugs in our software development process!!!
