Jenkins

About Jenkins
Jenkins is an open-source automation server designed to help businesses build, deploy, and automate the delivery of projects using plugins. It enables developers to distribute job tasks across multiple machines and facilitate software testing or deployment across platforms.
The application provides Jenkins Pipeline, a suite of plugins, which enables businesses to implement continuous delivery (CD) pipelines, such as software version control, code review, internationalization, and more. With Blue Ocean UI, Jenkins allows administrators to create pipelines for projects, write Jenkinsfiles using a graphical editor, securely connect pipelines with the source control repository, and automatically update changes in projects made via Blue Ocean’s Pipeline editor.
Jenkins offers a remote access API, which lets businesses access and capture data in Python, XML, and JSON formats. Third-party application administrators can connect their software with Jenkins and grant employee access by configuring credentials based on secret text or file, username and password, SSH Username with a private key, certificate file, and more.

There's no escaping the fact that Jenkins is a very powerful system which can be infinitely configured to your needs, no matter how obscure they may be. But as a solo developer or a small team, setting up and running Jenkins took an overwhelming amount of time that could have been spent working on more productive tasks.
Pros
I love that Jenkins and all plugins are completely free, and how customisable and extensible it is. You have complete control over every aspect of your pipelines and every tiny cog and dial is tweakable.
Cons
There is a steep learning curve, and setting up and maintaining the Jenkins environment can be an entire day job on its own. If you don't have a dedicated DevOps team to manage it, you might find yourself losing many productive hours to maintaining the CI system, and you might be better off with a CI system that does more for you out-of-the-box.

Reliable CI/CD Tool with Powerful Automation Capabilities
Reviewed on 2024/06/11
Pros
Jenkins is an incredibly versatile and reliable tool for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). As a senior automation tester, I appreciate its seamless integration with various version control systems, making it easy to trigger automated tests whenever new code is pushed by a developer. The extensive plugin ecosystem allows for significant customization and expansion of its functionalities. One of my favorite features is its ability to expose Allure reports, providing detailed and visually appealing test result reports that are easy to share with stakeholders.
Cons
While Jenkins is a powerful tool, it can be quite complex to set up and configure, especially for those who are new to it. The user interface, although functional, feels outdated and can be cumbersome to navigate at times. Additionally, managing a large number of plugins can sometimes lead to compatibility issues and maintenance overhead.

Powerful tool, with not so nice user experience
Reviewed on 2023/05/05
Pros
I never encountered that something could not be done on Jenkins. Jenkins is very versatile tool for CICD purposes.
Cons
The UI is a bit complex and the learning curve is steep. The UI of the website has not changed much in last years making it look a bit out-dated.We usually highly under-estimated time spent on any workflow that needed to be done in Jenkins.
