Extending Jenkins

This chapter explores the expansive world of Jenkins enhancements, enabling you to tailor its functionalities for specific needs such as continuous integration (CI). Enhancing Jenkins for CI demands the integration of additional tools and services, such as SonarQube, Artifactory, and a version control system (VCS).

At its core, a VCS such as GitHub offers effortless source code version control, fostering seamless collaboration among developers. Meanwhile, SonarQube conducts static code analysis to pinpoint code quality issues, ensuring compliance with coding standards. Artifactory acts as a repository manager, handling artifacts and dependencies efficiently for builds. By integrating SonarQube for code analysis, Artifactory for artifact management, and a VCS for version control, Jenkins evolves into a comprehensive CI solution. This ensures heightened code quality, efficient artifact management, and seamless team collaboration.
