CI (Continuous Integration)

To automate the QA and deployment process we used Jenkins as a CI server. Along with this we use QA automation tools like Monkeytalk, selenium. We also use automated build tools and installer tools like ant, xcode command line tool, gradle.

Tools/servers required for CI and inline details:

1: Linux server: Where we installing Jenkins.

2: OSX (MAC )/ Windows machine: To create node to building sand running the test.

3: Jenkins: Tool, where we configure nodes ( Machine to build/run/test/and deliver final product).

4: ANT: Intermediate between Jenkins and Monkeytalk.

5: Monkeytalk/selenium/junit: Tool which do automated testing.

6: xcode/ xcode command line tool/Gradle : Tool to build, clean and create final product.

7: Apache server: Need to Install on both linux and MAC to run the jenkins and ANT/monkeytalk

8: SVN: Subversion system from where we are downloading the code


Installation:

Download the jenkins from: https://jenkins.io/index.html

After installation the server will be running at : http://localhost:8080
