Jenkins Training Overview
Accelebrate's Continuous Integration with Maven, Jenkins, and Nexus training class teaches students the Apache Maven build process, the principles of continuous integration, and how to implement continuous integration with automated test execution using Jenkins, Maven, and the Sonatype Nexus OSS repository manager. Students 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. Attendees configure the system to log build reports and generated artifacts to a Nexus repository.
