Jenkins is the hub that connects our dev code to test machines and devices. It enables us to seamlessly deliver code that automatically triggers build jobs which then trigger test jobs. The number of man hours saved is immeasurable at this point. If you aren't using Jenkins in the testing world, you need to start - even if automated testing is not in your ecosystem yet. Pros Once configured, alleviates most of daily monotony of testing Cons There is a small curve of learning how to configure jobs and agent machines.
