Video description

This course teaches you how to incorporate a rigorous automated quality assurance (QA) process into the Maven build process inside Jenkins. It introduces four popular Jenkins plugins: jUnit, JaCoCo, FindBugs, and Checkstyle.

These plugins make it possible to automate four critical QA checks: unit testing, code coverage, bug detection, and standard formatting. By the end of the lessons, you'll understand how to use these plugins to ensure that your continuous integration, delivery or deployment practices are delivering top notch software.
