Integrating Selenium with jenkins/Hudson

 

Integrating Selenium with Jenkins

Jenkins is a build server designed for Java. Jenkins is responsible for checking if your application needs building, building it, triggering any testing that you have defined and, finally, reporting on the state of the build. Jenkins is easily available and can display JUnit reports in graphical format with drilldown capabilities.
