Jenkins - Automation Tool

Jenkins is free software released under MIT License. Jenkins is an open source automation server written in Java. Jenkins helps to automate the non-human part of software development process, with continuous integration and facilitating technical aspects of continuous delivery. It is a server-based system that runs in servlet containers such as Apache Tomcat. It supports version control tools, including AccuRev, CVS, Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Perforce, ClearCase and RTC, and can execute Apache Ant, Apache Maven and sbt based projects as well as arbitrary shell scripts and Windows batch commands.
Features:
  • Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery - As an extensible automation server, Jenkins can be used as a simple CI server or turned into the continuous delivery hub for any project.
  • Easy installation - Jenkins is a self-contained Java-based program, ready to run out-of-the-box, with packages for Windows, Mac OS X and other Unix-like operating systems.
  • Easy configuration - Jenkins can be easily set up and configured via its web interface, which includes on-the-fly error checks and built-in help.
  • Plugins - With hundreds of plugins in the Update Center, Jenkins integrates with practically every tool in the continuous integration and continuous delivery toolchain.
  • Extensible - Jenkins can be extended via its plugin architecture, providing nearly infinite possibilities for what Jenkins can do.
  • Distributed - Jenkins can easily distribute work across multiple machines, helping drive builds, tests and deployments across multiple platforms faster.
