Overall Satisfaction with Jenkins
We use Jenkins in multiple ways. As part of the QA team, we use Jenkins to run all of our API tests automatically and report back to us. We have some tests that we have special emails for every time they run. We also use it to run our automated UI tests. On the dev side, we use Jenkins to control our builds; we have pipelines in place for our dev environments, qa environments, and formal and prod environments. We then can control which environments get built. We also have pipelines in place for after-power outages so that we can quickly and effectively bring all our servers back up, which run scripts to do so.
- Scheduling jobs is quick and easy.
- Lots of plugins and integrations.
- Quickly add jobs with very similar run settings.
- The UI could be slightly better, it feels kind of like the 90s, but it works well.
- An easier way to filter jobs other than views on the dashboard.
- An easier way to read the console logs when tests do fail.
- Integrations with our tools.
- Plugins that work well.
- Easily configurable.
- We run about 30 test projects through Jenkins every day, multiple times a day; this allows us to focus on new tests rather than manually running all these tests.
- We rely heavily on reporting capabilities and email notifications; we have some jobs that send emails every time they run so we know if there is an issue with any of our services.
