What Is Jenkins

Jenkins is an open-source automation tool used for continuous integration and continuous delivery. It allows developers to easily set up build and test processes that are run automatically on each code commit. Jenkins notifies developers of build failures so errors can be identified and addressed quickly. By automating testing and deployment, Jenkins helps reduce defects and saves time in the software development process.
