Creating a nice visual flow for the Continuous Integration pipeline

  • Merge_Feature1_Into_Integration_Branch

• Pipeline to poll the Feature2 branch:

  • Poll_Build_UnitTest_Feature2_Branch

  • Merge_Feature2_Into_Integration_Branch

• Pipeline to poll the integration branch:

  • Poll_Build_StaticCodeAnalysis_IntegrationTest_Integration_Branch

  • Upload_Package_To_Artifactory

In this section, we will create a view inside the Jenkins Dashboard using the delivery pipeline plugin. This view is a nice way of presenting the CI flow. The same plugin will also be used to create a Continuous...
