Jenkins Powered by GlobalSolutions

Jenkins is a Continuous Integration (CI) server written in Java for testing and reporting on isolated changes in a larger code base in real time. The software enables developers to find and solve defects in a code base rapidly and to automate testing of their builds. It provides Continuous Integration services for software development, which can be started via command line or web application server.

We have made it easy for the user to start using the features of the product rather than spending time installing and configuring it. We have made this production ready and bundled it with all the components required to run this application. We have also ensured the image is hardened so it is secured from all existing vulnerabilities.
