I typically try to run as much in one job as possible to minimize the number of jobs. I use these advanced unix operating systems that allow me to run several things at once like this:
Compile & Analyze & wait If you must split it into multiple jobs, it is possible and even desirable if it allows you to get faster feedback. The only thing is, you cannot send the results upstream. If you have to have a single job where everything is available, both build artifacts and test results, you need to make a new job downstream that collects them both. There used to be this option to aggregate test results, which kind of does what you want but I never got it to work. Maybe that option is not compatible with multiconfiguration jobs which in use a lot. -- Sami intelchen <[email protected]> kirjoitti 16.3.2012 kello 18.03: > Hi, > It would take so much time to get results of these static code analysis > tools. > For example, it takes 12minutes to get findbugs result of our one component. > And we have more than 20 components in our products. > And aslo we would like to use checkstyles,pmd besides findbugs. > So I break apart them into two stage jobs.
