Jenkins Training Overview
This Continuous Integration with Maven, Jenkins, and Artifactory training course teaches attendees the Apache Maven build process, the principles of continuous integration, and how to implement continuous integration with automated test execution using Jenkins, Maven, and the Artifactory repository manager. Students use a local copy of Jenkins to create and run Maven jobs, link to a version control system, and run automated testing and generate development reports. Attendees configure the system to log build reports and generated artifacts to an Artifactory repository.
