# About
|
||
|
||
In a nutshell, Jenkins is the leading open-source automation server.
|
||
Built with Java, it provides over 2,000 [plugins](https://plugins.jenkins.io/) to support automating virtually anything,
|
||
so that humans can spend their time doing things machines cannot.
|
||
|
||
# What to Use Jenkins for and When to Use It
|
||
|
||
Use Jenkins to automate your development workflow, so you can focus on work that matters most. Jenkins is commonly used for:
|
||
|
||
- Building projects
|
||
- Running tests to detect bugs and other issues as soon as they are introduced
|
||
- Static code analysis
|
||
- Deployment
|
||
|
||
Execute repetitive tasks, save time, and optimize your development process with Jenkins.
|
||
|
||
