Engineers' Talk: Riding Jenkins with Oleg Nenashev - MES027

Today I'm happy to introduce you another presenter of the Embedded
Testing conference in Munich. I got acquainted with Oleg Nenashev
already in the first minutes of the conference. We're sitting aside
of each other. He was working for his Jenkins presentation. Oleg is
a 27 year old engineer from St. Petersburg in Russia. Although he
has started as a hardware-engineer he's mainly engaged on the
software side. With his presentation Integrating Jenkins with
verification flows of Embedded Systems he has introduced himself as
Jenkins specialist. He's currently working for CloudBees in
Neufchâtel in Switzerland. Although I was in touch with Hudson and
later on with Jenkins, I never get that deep inside of it. In
contrary Oleg has become responsible for testing hardware in an
automatized way already in 2008. He get in touch with Jenkins from
the very beginning. Later he provided several plugins before he
gots elected as core-developer. Meanwhile Jenkins has more than
1000 plugins. And it has undergone a redefinition from a pure
Continuous-Integration tool towards a more general, more framework
like automation server. The time we recorded this interview Oleg
stayed in St. Petersburg. He has just finished his PhD-thesis and
was in a quite relaxed mood. In our discussion we're highlighting
the way of Jenkins development. We stress the chances and
challenges. Why someone should use it. And the struggles you might
run into. We also talk about the newest changes in its
self-understanding. And Oleg provides an outview what we can expect
from the next major release. Jenkins 2.0 will cover mainly
architectural needs, especially from User-Interface-perspective,
which have been recognized and accumulated during the last years.
Stay with me and enjoy the interview.
