At end of the first GSoC phase, I announced the first alpha release of the CLI tool and library that will help centralize plugin management and make plugin tooling easier. Phase 2 has mainly been focused on improving upon the initial CLI and library written in Coding Phase 1. In particular, we’ve been focusing on getting the tool ready to incorporate into the Jenkins Docker Image to replace the install-plugins.sh bash...

Jenkins stores all generated artifacts on the controller server filesystem. This presents a couple of challenges especially when you try to run Jenkins in the cloud: As the number of artifacts grow, your Jenkins controller will run out of disk space. Eventually, performance can be impacted. Frequent transfer of files between agents and controller may cause load, CPU or network issues which are always hard to...

In lots of projects it is a common practice to track if unit tests code coverage doesn’t decrease....

Pipelines are the efficient and modern way how to create jobs in Jenkins. To recognize pipeline changes quickly and easily, we developed the Pipeline Configuration History plugin. This plugin detects changes of pipelines and provides the user an option to view changes between two builds (diffs) of pipeline configurations visibly and traceably. How everything started It all started 10 years ago — with classical job types (e.g. Freestyle, Maven, etc.). Every...
