Jenkins pipelines help improve railway signaling performance and empower developers with better DevOps processes.
Background: For our railway software, we needed to improve the quality, stability and delivery time of a legacy project, while giving our team a way of working smarter and faster.
Goals: Monitoring and operation of embedded railway traffic management systems.
Solution & Results: We migrated almost all components from a Subversion repository where, most of the time, people are working on a trunk branch to a Bitbucket Repository and Jenkins Pipeline.
Now every change is a node on a dedicated branch and merged after a reviewed pull request and successful Jenkins build.
We achieved superior results with Jenkins Pipelines, including:
- Fewer failed unit tests
- Improved code quality, by doing code reviews for every pull request
- Increased transparency and awareness of code changes
- Easier testing
- Build stability; Our master build is now much more stable
Jenkins improved and simplified our way of working. But also it increased our product quality and stability.
