  1. Challenge

    Getting Started in the Lab Environment

    Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!

  2. Challenge

    Build the Application from the Git Repository

    Set up a Jenkins Job that will retrieve the latest version of the code from a Git Branch, build it using the runtime programming language of the application, and package the deployable package of the application.

  3. Challenge

    Create Automated Unit Tests

    Create an additional stage to the pipeline to run Unit Tests against the application, and expose the report of the execution. Also use this new stage as a gatekeeper to prevent code that failed the tests to continue in the pipeline

  4. Challenge

    Enable Continuous Integration to Deliver Packaged Applications

    Configure Jenkins to automatically pull changes from the Git Repository automatically and trigger the pipeline based on new changes in the code.

  5. Challenge

    The Last Challenge

    Welcome to the final challenge! This is your last chance to experiment in the environment. Clicking Finish Lab will end this little world that flittered into existence just for you.
