Trigger from Jenkins

- [Bryan] In this video I'm going to show you how to trigger your tests on Saucelabs.com from Jenkins. Jenkins is my favorite way to run robot framework tests. It's definitely the easiest to use because all you have to do is log into Jenkins and click on a button. On the flip side though, it's definitely the most complex to configure because ideally your tests are going to live in a Git repository, you need to install the Jenkins web application and the robot framework plugin, and then you've got to create some jobs. And with Jenkins your automated tests are not the only thing that's going to be triggered. The expectation with continuous integration and continuous testing is that your tests will be part of an automated build pipeline where when the developers make some changes to code and they check it into Git, the Jenkins system will be listening to changes on Git, and there will be a multistage process where Jenkins grabs that new code, builds and deploys it to some servers…
