Jenkins' Software Architecture

[P.J. Ullrich]

Dear Jenkins Community,

in the context of a University project I have to evaluate the software architecture of the Jenkins software.

Unfortunately I could not find any documentation regarding architectural decisions like the use of patterns, key drivers/quality attributes and architectural views. Do you know whether such documentation exists somewhere? Do you maybe know whether such considerations played and/or still play a role in the development of the core software?

In return I will be happy to share my evaluation with the community which might help with structuring the software better and will hopefully offer a few recommendations for how to improve the software on its key quality attributes.

All the best,

Peter Ullrich

Hi,

I think you could find some article in Development Documentation. You could take a look at "Architecture" link in:

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Extend+Jenkins

I hope be useful.
