Step 1 − Configuring an SMTP server. Goto Manage Jenkins → Configure System. Go to the E-mail notification section and enter the required SMTP server and user email-suffix details.

How to perform Notification, Reporting and Code Analysis

Step 2 − Configure the recipients within the Jenkins project – When you configure any Jenkins build project, right at the end is the ability to feature recipients who would get email notifications for unstable or broken builds. Then click on the Save button.

Apart from the default, there are also notification plugin’s available within the market. An example is the notification plugin from Tikal Knowledge which allows sending Job Status notifications in JSON and XML formats. This plugin enables end-points to be configured as shown below.

Here are the details of each option −

• “Format” − This is the notification payload format which can either be JSON or XML.
• “Protocol” − protocol to use for sending notification messages, HTTP, TCP or UDP.
• “Event” − The job events that trigger notifications: Job Started, Job Completed, Job Finalized or All Events (the default option).
• “URL” − URL to send notifications to. It takes the form of “http://host” for HTTP protocol, and “host:port” for TCP and UDP protocols.
• “Timeout” − Timeout in milliseconds for sending notification request, 30 seconds by default.

Jenkins – Reporting

As demonstrated within the earlier section, there are many reporting plugins available with the simplest one being the reports available for jUnit tests.

Within the Post-build action for any job, you can define the reports to be created. After the builds are complete, the Test Results option will be available for further drill-down.

Jenkins – Code Analysis

Jenkins has a host of Code Analysis plugin. The various plugins can be found at https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Static+Code+Analysis+Plugins

This plugin provides utilities for the static code analysis plugins. Jenkins can parse the results file from various Code Analysis tools such as CheckStyle, FindBugs, PMD etc. For each corresponding code analysis tool, a plugin in Jenkins needs to be installed.

Feature optionally the feature-on plugin Static Analysis Collector is available that combines the individual results of these plugins into a single trend graph and view.

The plugins can provide information such as

• The total number of warnings in a job
• A showing of the new and fixed warnings of a build
• Trend Reports showing the number of warnings per build
• Overview of the found warnings per module, package, category, or type
• Detailed reports of the found warnings optionally filtered by severity (or new and fixed)
