• Reusable templates specifying the set of server-side components that
will be assembled and managed as a runtime to support your app
• One ClickStack runtime is expected to be re-used by many apps
ClickStacks: • Examples – Tomcat, JBoss, Java, Play!, LifeRay, ColdFusion; …
• Open model for creating new named runtimes for your use and to
share with others

10. Continuous Integration
and Jenkins in the
Cloud
blog.cloudbees.com

11. Continuous Integration
• What is Continuous Integration?
• What is Jenkins?
• What‟s needed for CI of Mobile Apps?
• Demos
– iOS Build, Test, Distribution
– Android Build, Test, Distribution
– Multi-device Matrixed Builds
• Try it: set up your own builds

12. So what‟s Jenkins?
• Community-driven OSS project
– http://jenkins-ci.org/
– Used to be called Hudson
• A member project of SPI*
• Webapp written in Java
• Actively developed
– Over 7 years of history, 440+ releases
– 600+ plugins, 300+ developers
* Software in Public Interest, NPO. http://spi-inc.org/
12

13. Sample tasting on things you do w/Jenkins
• Build your Maven projects every time
someone commits a change
• FindBugs metric tracking. Ensure that # of
defects goes down
• Multi-platform concurrent Selenium test
execution
• IRC/jabber/campfire bot/notification
interface
• Emulator-based Android testing with
automatic emulator management
13

14. What makes Jenkins so popular?
• Community and its 600+ plugins
– Integrates Jenkins to just about any tools
you can imagine
– Or more precisely, the ecosystem and the
community that‟s capable of producing it
• Ease of installation, ease of use
• Distributed builds
– As a means to deal with abundance of
computing power

15. Continuous Integration
for Mobile Apps
blog.cloudbees.com

16. Why Jenkins in the Cloud for mobile CI?
• To let developers focus on developing
– Leave building, packaging, testing, distributing
to a computer
– Make the right thing the easiest thing
• Many, well-adopted mobile development
plugins
– Safety in numbers
• “Distributed builds” for scaling with workload
• “Matrix project” for easy cross device testing
16

17. Demo: Chess Server with Mobile Clients
• iOS mobile app
– Build/test using Jenkins
– MacOS slaves for builds
– TestFlight push to beta
testers
• Android mobile app
– Build/test using Jenkins
– Matrixed builds for multiple
device configs
• Java + MongoDB server
– Running on CloudBees PaaS
– Build/test/deploy via Jenkins
17

18. Fun App – but „Real‟ Java Development
• Built using Eclipse, Maven, Junit, JAX-RS, JAX-B,
gson …
• Git repository, Jenkins build/test and app deployment
all running on AWS using CloudBees PaaS
• Free to develop: enterprise-grade runtime services

20. Jenkins in the Cloud: Android
• Android App built from GitHub
– Build/test by Jenkins entirely in the cloud
– Matrixed build supports multiple device
configs
– Build slaves for tethered devices
20

21. Jenkins in the Cloud: iOS Builds
• iOS App built from GitHub
– Jenkins Xcode builds/tests run on MacOS
slaves
– Scripted integration tests
– iOS app archive/packaging/distribution via
TestFlight using Jenkins plug-in
• Mobile CI Examples and Blogs online

22. Continuous Delivery
for Google App Engine
with CloudBees and
Jenkins
blog.cloudbees.com

23. 1. You write the code
2. Jenkins builds and tests your
app in the cloud…
3. …and automatically
deploys to Google App
Engine
23

24. Step 1. Link your Google Account
http://appengine.cloudbees.com/
24

25. Step 2. Start Using Jenkins for App
Engine
http://appengine.cloudbees.com/
