Summary

To begin the implementation of a truly scalable testing solution the key is standardization. This simplifies and solidifies a common set of core technologies, processes, and validation criteria for a software project. Indeed, introducing standards at an organization that has none is going to be an up-hill battle. Jenkins does provide all of the tools necessary to implement and build even the most complex systems. Even though Jenkins is highly configurable the more simplistic the implementation, the more likely it is to be successful. The key to a successful testing solution is to not to implement a custom-made highly adaptive solution but instead to remove the custom parts and substitute them with a set of conformity-driven standards, repeatable and known software engineering test processes, and automation.

In this chapter we discovered automated testing solutions in Jenkins. We learned how to create a scalable unit test solution. We covered how to implement a distributed testing...
