Jenkins is the leading open-source continuous integration tool developed by Hudson lab. It is cross-platform and can be used on Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Solaris environments. Jenkins is written in Java. Jenkin’s chief usage is to monitor any job which can be SVN checkout, cron or any application states. It fires pre-configured actions when a particular step occurs in jobs. ## Important Features of Jenkins * **Change Support:** Jenkins generates the list of all changes done in repositories like SVN. * **Permanent links:** Jenkins provides direct links to the latest build or failed build that can be used for easy communication * **Installation:** Jenkins is easy to install either using direct installation file (exe) or war file to deploy using application server. * **Email integration:** Jenkins can be configured to email the content of the status of the build. * **Easy Configuration:** To configure various tasks on Jenkins is easy. * **TestNG test:** Jenkins can be configured to run the automation test build on[ Testng ](https://www.guru99.com/all-about-testng-and-selenium.html)after each build of SVN. * **Multiple VMs:** Jenkins can be configured to distribute the build on multiple machines. * **Project build:** Jenkins documents the details of jar, version of jar and mapping of build and jar numbers. * **Plugins:** 3rd party plugin can be configured in Jenkins to use features and additional functionality. ## Why Jenkins and Selenium? * Running Selenium tests in Jenkins allows you to run your tests every time your software changes and deploy the software to a new environment when the tests pass. * Jenkins can schedule your tests to run at specific time. * You can save the execution history and Test Reports. * Jenkins supports Maven for building and[ Testing ](https://www.guru99.com/software-testing.html)a project in continuous integration. ## What is Maven in Selenium? Maven is a powerful project / build management tool, based on the concept of a POM (Project Object Model) that includes project information and configuration information for Maven such as construction directory, source directory, dependency, test source directory, Goals, plugins, etc. ## Why Maven & Jenkins Selenium WebDriver is great for browser automation. But, when using it for testing and building a test framework, it feels underpowered. Integrating Maven with Selenium provides following benefitsApache Maven provides support for managing the full lifecycle of a test project. * Maven is used to define project structure, dependencies, build, and test management. * Using pom.xml(Maven) you can configure dependencies needed for building testing and running code. * Maven automatically downloads the necessary files from the repository while building the project. ### RELATED ARTICLES * [ Verify Element Present & waitFor Command in Selenium ](https://www.guru99.com/enhancing-selenium-ide-script.html "Verify Element Present & waitFor Command in Selenium") * [ Selenium Framework: Data, Keyword & Hybrid Driven ](https://www.guru99.com/creating-keyword-hybrid-frameworks-with-selenium.html "Selenium Framework: Data, Keyword & Hybrid Driven") * [ FindElement by XPath in Selenium ](https://www.guru99.com/find-element-selenium.html "FindElement by XPath in Selenium") * [ How to Maximize Browser Window in Selenium ](https://www.guru99.com/maximize-resize-minimize-browser-selenium.html "How to Maximize Browser Window in Selenium") ## How to Install Maven and use it with TestNG Selenium Here is steps to install Maven and use it with TestNG Selenium For this tutorial, we will use Eclipse (Juno) IDE for[ Java ](https://www.guru99.com/java-tutorial.html)Developers to set up Selenium WebDriver Project. Additionally, we need add m2eclipse plugin to Eclipse to facilitate the build process and create pom.xml file. Let’s add m2eclipse plugin to Eclipse with following steps: **Step 1)** In Eclipse IDE, select **Help** | **Install New Software** from Eclipse Main Menu. **Step 2)** On the Install dialog, Enter the URL . Select **Work with** and m2e plugin as shown in the following screenshot: [](https://www.guru99.com/images/5-2015/050115%5F1023%5FMavenJenkin1.png) **Step 3)** Click on **Next** button and finish installation. **Configure Eclipse with Maven** With m2e plugin is installed, we now need create Maven project. **Step 1)** In Eclipse IDE, create a new project by selecting **File** | **New** | **Other** from Eclipse menu. **Step 2)** On the **New** dialog, select **Maven** | **Maven Project** and click Next [](https://www.guru99.com/images/5-2015/050115%5F1023%5FMavenJenkin2.png) **Step 3)** On the **New Maven Project** dialog select the **Create a simple project** and click Next [](https://www.guru99.com/images/5-2015/050115%5F1023%5FMavenJenkin3.jpg) **Step 4)** Enter WebdriverTest in **Group Id**: and **Artifact Id**: and click finish [](https://www.guru99.com/images/5-2015/050115%5F1023%5FMavenJenkin4.jpg) **Step 5)** Eclipse will create **WebdriverTest** with following structure: [](https://www.guru99.com/images/5-2015/050115%5F1023%5FMavenJenkin5.jpg) **Step 6)** Right-click on **JRE System Library** and select the **Properties** option from the menu. [](https://www.guru99.com/images/5-2015/050115%5F1023%5FMavenJenkin6.jpg) On the **Properties for JRE System Library** dialog box, make sure **Workspace default JRE** is selected and click OK [](https://www.guru99.com/images/5-2015/050115%5F1023%5FMavenJenkin7.jpg) **Step 7)**. Select **pom.xml** from **Project Explorer**.. [](https://www.guru99.com/images/5-2015/050115%5F1023%5FMavenJenkin8.jpg) pom.xml file will Open in Editor section [](https://www.guru99.com/images/5-2015/050115%5F1023%5FMavenJenkin9.jpg) **Step 8)** Add the Selenium, Maven, TestNG,[ Junit ](https://www.guru99.com/junit-tutorial.html)dependencies to pom.xml in the node: junit junit 3.8.1 test org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 2.45.0 org.testng testng 6.8.8 test **Step 9)** Create a New TestNG Class.
