Why Jenkins for Enterprise Development?
• To let developers focus on developing
– Leave building, packaging, testing, distributing
to a computer
– Make the right thing the easiest thing
• Many, well-adopted development plugins
including mobile
– Safety in numbers
• “Distributed builds” for scaling with workload
• “Matrix project” for easy cross device testing

Demo: Building a “Social” Chess Server
• The basics: record games, moves
• Next steps: notifications, time keeping
• Going further: competition, research
• Chess client apps handle actual play
• Server doesn‟t need to know the rules
• Just for fun:

Fun App – but „Real‟ Java Development
• Built using Eclipse, Maven, JUnit, JAX-RS, JAX-B,
gson …
• Git repository, Jenkins build/test and app deployment
all running on AWS using CloudBees PaaS
• Free to develop: enterprise-grade runtime services
10

11.
Testing, Testing, Testing
• Suppose I add some new killer feature
• What do I need to test?
– Do all components build correctly?
– Do the unit tests pass?
– Did the interfaces change?
– Have I affected the UI behavior?
• I need this all to happen continuously and
automatically – end-to-end testing

Jenkins and Agile CI Best Practices

Integration
The Key to Agile and Lean
Development
Stage Build Code • Better quality products
Application
• Faster delivery
Test Code
• Scale teams
12

13.
Continuous Delivery with Jenkins
• Define pipeline scope and “expansion plan”
• Collect all application components (incl.
configuration resources etc.)
• Build environment-independent packages
• Provide automated tests
• Define automatable release triggers &
checkpoints
13

14.
CD in the Enterprise
• Same pipeline setup across middleware and
OS types
• Same pipeline setup in private/hybrid cloud
and PaaS environments
• On-demand environment provisioning
• Release Management integration
• End-to-end “paper trail”
14

15.
CD “Getting Started” Questions
• What needs to be in our deployment packages?
Can we retrieve these components automatically?
• Can we deploy the same components to all
environments, automatically? Can we keep environment
information out of our builds?
• What are the stages in our pipeline? How do they map to
jobs? Who owns/has access to these jobs?
• What triggers for/checkpoints between pipeline stages do
I need? Can I automate triggering/checkpoint validation?
• What happens when a pipeline stage fails?
15

16.
Demo: What's Coming Up
• Two variants of the chess demo application
• Same build/deploy/test pipeline in Jenkins
• 1x JBoss & MySQL
• 1x Tomcat & MongoDB
• Deployit Release Dashboard
16

17.
Use Deployit & Jenkins to...
• Build complete and environment-independent
packages
• Deploy to enterprise middleware environments
out-of-the-box
• Keep environment specifics and sensitive
information out of your builds
• Provide automated rollback on error
• Integrate release management controls &
validation for auditing and compliance
