Jenkins Setup for Salesforce.com Automated Deployment
Continuous Integration (Build automation) for salesforce.com using GitHub repository: Step by Step by Jenkins Setup I did a small POC for Jenkins setup to automate the build deployment (Continuous Integration) of SFDC and GitHub as repository on cloud. I thought to share my experience. To start with let’s first understand the basics and approach I took to achieve this. Following are the major components are involved to make it happen. These are not software requirement. Software requirements are defined later in this article. 1. Salesforce instance – Source e.g.: Dev Sand Box where the configuration and customization has been done. 2. Eclipse with force.com IDE: This used to pull the desired code and components to be deployed at other Salesforce.com instance. 3. GitHub repository as source control 4. Jenkins : It control the deployment 5. Salesforce-Ant build tool
