Within the Jenkins environment you can have multiple build jobs that do different things.
The idea is that you have one source repository, one build environment (Jenkins) and one binary repository (Artifactory). You can manage the versions of source to produce builds and then place build in binary repository from where you manage the lifecycle of taking the artifact through various test and deployment stages. There are different strategies you can use to govern source and binary artifacts but most of them use one of each type of tool. Some people to trunk-based development. This means the trunk of the source repository is built and the artifacts are taken through a lifecycle like 'Integration Testing', 'Pre-production' and Production. With tag-based development the code is tagged to indicate which version of the code should be used to build an artifact targeted at a specific environment like 'Integration Testing', 'Pre-production' and Production. With trunk based development it is important to have a review process to manage which source artifacts end up in trunk. The binary artifacts need to be managed along with any binary dependencies. With tag-based development to focus is on managing the tags in the source environment and rebuilding everything that can be affected when changes are made.
