Most organizations I’ve worked with often think they are concerned about security, but never actually do anything about it until right before the big production release when it’s often too late to actually make any major security changes before the big “Go/No-Go” decision. What if security was baked into our CI processes in order to […]
As a direct followup to my previous post, I thought the discussion of passing parameters in a build flow might be useful. Let’s start with our previous example. I’ve created a build flow that deploys an application and runs Front-End, Back-End and Integration Tests against that application in parallel. In addition, we’ve added several features […]

One of the most powerful tools I have used to orchestrate deployments and testing has been the Build Flow Plugin. It has allowed […]
I’ve worked on a number of DevOps projects recently where I’ve had to assemble Continuous Delivery (CD) pipelines to build, deploy, and test software. In my case, we’ve been using Chef to automatically deploy various components of a java-based web system using Jenkins. We have a lot of pipeline job chains created in Jenkins to […]

With large complex software applications, builds can often be split into different steps and tasks creating a series of jobs for our build pipeline. On my current project we are utilizing Jenkins to implement Continuous Integration/Continuous Deliver (CI/CD) and between the jobs for compilation, smoke tests, acceptance tests and deployment across environments in several different VLANs, […]
I spent much of my formative years in High School and College being indoctrinated with Object-Orientated Programming (OOP). When used well, OOP provides clear modular structure for programs, defines clear interfaces, makes software easier to maintain and modify, allows multiple functions to share code (cord re-use), and reduces large, complex issues to smaller, more manageable […]
