// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

Jenkins still runs half the world's test suites. This quiz covers the Jenkinsfile constructs testers actually touch: declarative pipeline structure, publishing JUnit results, what UNSTABLE means, parallel stages, and hung-build protection.

Scoring: timed quiz; accuracy first, speed bonus for fast clean runs.

// FIRST CONTACT

Battle teaser

Keeping the Jenkinsfile in the application repo buys you:

  1. APipeline-as-code: the pipeline is versioned, reviewed, and branches with the code it builds
  2. BAutomatic plugin updates
  3. CFaster executors
  4. DNothing; job config in the UI is equivalent
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
