Training agenda, organized by learning path

SCM and build fundamentals

• Software Configuration Management fundamentals.
• Build and Release Engineering overview.
• Version control concepts and basic usage (Subversion and Git).
• Build management basics with Ant, Maven, and MSBuild.

CI implementation with Jenkins

• Jenkins installation and setup.
• Configuring jobs using SVN/Git plus Ant/Maven build steps.
• Authentication and authorization in Jenkins.
• Node setup, labels, tags, notifications, and plugin usage.
• Jenkins scripting, CLI usage, and reporting dashboards.

Quality integration and release flow

• CI benefits and CI tool landscape (with focus on Jenkins).
• Integration points mentioned: JUnit, HP-QC, Cobertura, Sonar.
• Release and deployment workflow using Jenkins and Nexus.
• Hands-on labs and assignments.

How the workflow fits together in practice

The original agenda implies an end-to-end flow from source control through build, testing, analysis, and release. A typical lab-style sequence looks like this:

flowchart LR
    A[Commit to Git or SVN] --> B[Jenkins job trigger]
    B --> C[Build step]
    C --> D[Run unit tests]
    D --> E[Coverage and static analysis]
    E --> F[Publish artifact to Nexus]
    F --> G[Release deployment]
    B --> H[Notifications and dashboard]

Common pitfalls before enrolling

• Assuming old prerequisites are still current (especially OS and JDK versions).
• Waiting to install SCM and build tools until class day.
• Not testing internet connectivity and access rights for online labs.
• Skipping basic Git/SVN commands, which slows down Jenkins lab progress.
• Relying on legacy links without confirming the latest schedule with the training provider.
