Automate Build & Testing Processes

In this task, you will set up a Jenkins pipeline to automate builds and testing. You'll link Jenkins to a GitHub repository, define a Jenkinsfile to script the pipeline, and trigger an automated build process to verify its execution.

Create a Jenkinsfile

1. Enter Jenkinsfile as the filename. Ensure there is no file extension;

2. Copy and paste the following declarative pipeline script into the editor.

This Jenkins declarative pipeline runs on any agent and follows a straightforward Build → Test → Deploy sequence. Each stage is a placeholder for real commands: building the project and generating artifacts, running tests to ensure quality, and deploying to the target environment. Its simple, modular structure makes it easy to adapt for full CI/CD automation in Jenkins.
