What you'll learn
This course will provide students with an understanding of the Apache
Maven build process, the principles of continuous integration, and the
knowledge of how to implement continuous integration with automated test
execution using Jenkins, Maven, and the Sonatype Nexus OSS repository
manager. Students will use a local copy of Jenkins and to create and run
Maven jobs, link to a version control system, run automated testing and
generate development reports, and configure the system to log build
reports and generated artifacts to a Nexus repository. - This course is
targeted to developers who will implement Continuous Integration using
Maven, Jenkins and the Nexus repository manager. Students learn to
create Maven projects, configure Jenkins to build those projects, and
manage the artifacts using Nexus.
Prerequisites
Attendees should have familiarity Java development practices.
