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!

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.
-
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
-
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.
