First, let’s understand what Continuous integration is. It’s a process which allows you to identify errors in the starting. All development work is integrated as early as possible and artifacts are created and tested automatically.
Now, what is Bitbucket?
Bitbucket is the most commonly used tool for version control system, the whole team can add and commit the test scripts that are developed locally and push the changes to the bit.
How is Jenkins used?
Jenkins is a widely used open source tool to perform continuous integration and build automation. It monitors the execution of the steps and allows to stop the process if one of the steps fails.
Jenkins can pull the source code from Bitbucket server by selecting the option of source code management and specify the SSH key and can find the source code of your project.
Now we will take you through the process step by step.
- To setup Jenkins, first of all, you have to download Jenkins.war file from the link- https://jenkins.io and copy that file to your c drive.
- Open a command prompt and execute —
