Creating the Jenkins Continuous Deployment pipeline
This Continuous Deployment pipeline contains seven Jenkins jobs (five old and two new ones). In this section, we will modify Jenkins job 5 and create two new ones.
Modifying the existing Jenkins job
The modification is pretty simple. We need to add a post build step to an existing Jenkins job, Performance_Testing. In this way, the Performance_Testing job will be able to trigger the new Jenkins job, Merge_Production_Ready_Code_Into_Master_Branch, that we will be creating in the coming sections.
Modifying the Jenkins job that performs the performance test
The fifth Jenkins job in the Continuous Deployment pipeline performs the following tasks:
It performs the performance test
It passes the
GIT_COMMITandBUILD_NUMBERvariables to the Jenkins job that performs the performance test (new functionality)
The following figure will help us understand what the Jenkins job does. It's a slightly modified version of what we saw in the previous chapter.
