Continuous Integration with Maven, Jenkins, and Nexus

This Continuous Integration with Maven, Jenkins, and Nexus training class will provide students with an understanding of the Apache Maven build process, the principles of continuous integration, and the knowledge of how to implement continuous integration with automated test execution using Jenkins, Maven, and the Sonatype Nexus OSS repository manager. Students will use a local copy of Jenkins and to create and run Maven jobs, link to a version control system, run automated testing and generate development reports, and configure the system to log build reports and generated artifacts to a Nexus repository.

This course is targeted to developers who will implement Continuous Integration using Maven, Jenkins, and the Nexus repository manager. Students learn to create Maven projects, configure Jenkins to build those projects, and manage the artifacts using Nexus.
