Automatics Deployment and 3.0 API Parser Pipeline Job

For automating the deployment and parser jobs for Automatics, a new Pipeline job is introduced. What this pipeline job will do is it will invoke the existing jenkins freestyle jobs which does the deployment and API scanning in the correct order. The overview of jenkins pipeline job as well as the steps to create the Automatics pipeline job below.

Why use Jenkins pipeline?

Jenkins is an open continuous integration server which has the ability to support the automation of software development processes. You can create multiple automation jobs with the help of use cases, and run them as a Jenkins pipeline.

Here are the reasons why you use should use Jenkins pipeline:

• Jenkins pipeline is implemented as a code which allows multiple users to edit and execute the pipeline process.
• Pipelines are robust. So if your server undergoes an unforeseen restart, the pipeline will be automatically resumed.
• You can pause the pipeline process and make it wait to resume until there is an input from the user.
• Jenkins Pipelines supports big projects. You can run multiple jobs, and even use pipelines in a loop.
