Jenkins is an application that monitors executions of repeated jobs.

Jenkins is an award-winning application that monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron.

Among those things, current Jenkins focuses on the following two jobs:

1) Building/testing software projects continuously, just like CruiseControl or DamageControl.

2) Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs, such as cron jobs and procmail jobs, even those that are run on a remote machine.

Easy installation

Just java -jar jenkins.war, or deploy it in a servlet container. No additional install, no database.

Easy configuration

Jenkins can be configured entirely from its friendly web GUI with extensive on-the-fly error checks and inline help. There's no need to tweak XML manually anymore, although if you'd like to do so, you can do that, too.

Change set support

Jenkins can generate a list of changes made into the build from Subversion/CVS. This is also done in a fairly efficient fashion, to reduce the load on the repository.

Permanent links

Jenkins gives you clean readable URLs for most of its pages, including some permalinks like "latest build"/"latest successful build", so that they can be easily linked from elsewhere.

RSS/E-mail/IM Integration

Monitor build results by RSS or e-mail to get real-time notifications on failures.

After-the-fact tagging

JUnit/TestNG test reporting

JUnit test reports can be tabulated, summarized, and displayed with history information, such as when it started breaking, etc. History trend is plotted into a graph.

Distributed builds

Jenkins can distribute build/test loads to multiple computers. This lets you get the most out of those idle workstations sitting beneath developers' desks.

File fingerprinting

Jenkins can keep track of which build produced which jars, and which build is using which version of jars, and so on. This works even for jars that are produced outside Jenkins, and is ideal for projects to track dependency.
