Outline

• Continuous Integration Basics• CI is not just about releases• A new set of challenges

• Sauce Labs Demo – Take control

• Introduction to Jenkins• The future of integration / release• Q / A

What is CI

Automatic builds of the entire application, into integration environments. Location for automated and manual testing by the entire team. 99.9% of

companies can benefit from CI.

Goal• Find bugs faster – DUH• Safe playground• Move testing earlier in the pipeline

Tools for the Job• Infrastructure as code• Release Management• Automated Testing and Reporting

A Cinderella Story

That is not all CI does

• First line of defense• Get to the fun stuff sooner• Better communication – The “Code” cafe• Oversight and Learning• Continuous Documentation• On-boarding for Continuous Delivery or

Deployment

If it doesn’t hurt it’s not worth doing

• People• Infrastructure

• Test Grids• Integration• Contamination

• Metrics

Plenty of answers. Just don’t wait.

What Is the Next Step?

• Continuous Integration is definitely a game changer

• So, what is the next step?

• DevOps is a Journey - there are many steps along the way

• Every Journey needs a guide!

Testing Spectrum – a Critical Step

Unit Tests

Integration Tests

Quality Tests

Security Tests

Functional Tests

Performance Tests

System Tests

Continuous Delivery – the next step

Continuous Delivery takes the automation focus to new areas

… Up the testing spectrum, across silos

… To the release and deployment teams

And treats the SDLC as a Pipeline

Isn’t Jenkins a CI tool?

Jenkins isn’t a Continuous Integration tool… Nor a Continuous Delivery tool.

Jenkins is an automation tool.

The industry was using Jenkins for CI... and now the industry is using Jenkins for CD.

… but it hasn’t always been an easy road.

Introducing Jenkins Workflow

Jenkins Workflow

stage 'build' {checkout([$class: 'GitSCM’, userRemoteConfigs: [[url: 'https://repo/project.git']]])sh 'mvn clean install'

}

stage ’unit-test' {sh 'mvn verify'

}

stage 'functional-test' {build 'sauce-labs-project'input message: ’Did the Sauce tests pass?', submitter: 'quality-assurance-team'

}

stage 'deploy' {sh 'puppet apply manifest.pp'

}
