What you'll learn

We will start with understanding the concepts of DevOps, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery & Continuous Deployment.
We will understand how Jenkins fits perfectly as the CICD server. We will learn about its fundamentals & capabilities.
After learning how to install Jenkins, we will learn about the basics of a Jenkins job & its configuration options.
We will then move to see Jenkins in action in the CICD lifecycle & automate the pipeline from Code checkin, Quality Checks, Unit testing, functional testing & Deployments.
Source code repository – We will look at how Jenkins can integrate with GIT & be a starting point for automated builds based on developer checkins.
Code Quality – We will look at how Jenkins can integrate with code quality tools like SonarQube to highlight any issues with the developer code.
Automated Build, Test & Deployments – We will look at how Jenkins can trigger maven scripts to start a build, see how it can integrate with Selenium to automate functional testing & finally see how it can help with deploying the executables on web servers.
We will then move on to learning about the Jenkins pipeline where will cover about build pipeline, delivery pipeline, scripted pipelines & the famous declarative pipeline. Create a multi-stage Jenkins job and visualize the complicated pipeline.

5 sections • 30 lectures • 5h 20m total length

Course Objectives & Overview2:48
Explore Jenkins from installation and configuration to advanced CI/CD workflows, including Git and Maven integration, code quality checks with SonarQube and PMD, and automated builds, tests, and deployments.
How to take this course?2:26
Introduction to Continuous Integration11:59
Introduction to Jenkins8:03
Explore how Jenkins enables continuous integration and delivery through an extensible plugin ecosystem, automated build, test, and deployment pipelines across platforms, and a master-slave architecture.

Installation of Jenkins - Part 1 - Install Java9:17
Installation of Jenkins - Part 29:42
Install Jenkins from the official site on Windows using the MSI for long term support version, run the setup wizard, create the first admin user, unlock Jenkins, and install plugins.
Advanced Jenkins Installation10:29
Install Jenkins on Tomcat11:35
Learn how to install Jenkins on Tomcat by deploying the Jenkins war, starting and stopping Tomcat, and accessing the same Jenkins instance via Tomcat and Jetty URLs.

Jenkins Dashboard & Configurations18:04
Creating Users & Granting Access in Jenkins10:11
Create and manage Jenkins users and roles to control access for developers, testers, and admins. Enforce granularity with matrix-based and project-based security, assigning read, build, and configure permissions as needed.
Role Based Strategy for Users10:05
Creating our first Jenkins Job21:32
More on Jenkins Job12:49

Jenkins Integration with Git using Poll SCM11:22
Learn how Jenkins integrates with Git using the poll method, configure the git plugin, and trigger builds on new commits from a GitHub repository.
Jenkins Integration with Git using Webhooks7:10
Expose Jenkins publicly with ngrok, create a GitHub webhook, and configure the GitHub hook trigger to trigger builds on pushes versus polling.
Installation of Maven7:55
Install and configure Apache Maven, including downloading, unzipping, setting M2_HOME and MAVEN_HOME, updating PATH, verifying with mvn -version, and configuring the local repository via settings.xml.
Setting up a Maven Project15:23
Set up a simple Maven project in Eclipse, add JUnit tests via dependencies in pom.xml, and package a jar, enabling Jenkins integration with Maven.
Jenkins Integration with Maven14:38
Explore two ways to integrate Jenkins with Maven: a freestyle job invoking top-level Maven goals (clean test, package) using a pom.xml, and a Maven project via the Maven integration plugin.
Introduction & Installation of SonarQube8:46
Code Analysis with SonarQube9:22
Jenkins Integration with SonarQube12:29
Integrate Jenkins with SonarQube using Maven goals like clean test and sonar:sonar to run code analysis and view results, and learn plugin and scanner options for broader integrations.
Sending Email Notifications from Jenkins13:52
Learn how to send email notifications from Jenkins using Gmail SMTP and test the configuration. Explore the email extension plugin for HTML content, attachments, default recipients, and multiple triggers.
Jenkins Integration with Selenium and TestNG20:07
Learn to integrate Jenkins with Selenium and TestNG in a Maven project, run tests via Maven goals, and publish TestNG results for clear reporting.
Jenkins Integration with Tomcat for Deployment10:23
Learn to automate deployment with Jenkins by packaging a war with Maven and deploying to Tomcat using the deploy to container plugin, completing the ci/cd lifecycle.

Introduction To Pipelines2:19
Explore how Jenkins pipelines orchestrate code flow from Git to build, test, and deploy, using delivery and build pipeline plugins, and multi-branch pipelines with Git integration for continuous delivery.
Setting up Delivery Pipeline12:26
Learn to set up a simple delivery pipeline in Jenkins by creating build, test, and deploy jobs, chaining them, and visualizing progress with the delivery pipeline plugin.
Setting up Build Pipeline4:45
Introduction to Jenkins Pipeline5:51
Explore how to code scalable, durable Jenkins pipelines using declarative or scripted syntax, with stages, nodes, and parallel steps, all stored in a Jenkins file.
Setting Up Scripted Jenkins Pipeline9:39
Set up a scripted Jenkins pipeline to run build, test, and deploy stages, fetch latest code from a repository, run tests, and package results, with a looping for customization.
Setting up Declarative Jenkins Pipeline15:10
Learn to build a declarative Jenkins pipeline with a Jenkins file stored in code, using git repo, featuring cleaning, testing, and packaging stages, and explore input prompts and email notifications.
