Today, many testers build their tests thanks to Jenkins and rely on Jenkins to run the smoke test. Being a free open-source tool, of course, plays an important role in the test developers’ preferences.

In this article, we will discuss how to install Jenkins, an open-source CI/CD tool, on the computer, how to create “jobs” on Jenkins, and other important configurations on Jenkins. We will also cover the integration of Jenkins with Git tools such as Bitbucket, as well as test platforms such as Browserstack. We will also see how we can create an EC2 on cloud provider platforms such as AWS so that Jenkins is up and running 24/7 and automatically run the smoke test for you.

We will also learn how to connect to the EC2 instance from AWS, which tools should be installed on this machine, and what configurations to be taken. Finally, we will learn how to create a report with Jenkins and how to send this report to teammates automatically via tools such as E-Mail or Slack. When you read the article and follow the given instructions, you will be able to have a Jenkins job that works from CI/CD perspective.

Let’s start…
