How can you use Bamboo in continuous integration?

2 How to set up Bamboo?

To use Bamboo in continuous integration, you need to sign up for a Bamboo account and create a project. A project is a collection of related plans that define your CI/CD workflows. A plan consists of one or more stages that contain one or more jobs that execute specific tasks. For example, a plan might have a stage for building the code, a stage for testing the code, and a stage for deploying the code. A job might have a task for compiling the code, a task for running unit tests, and a task for generating reports.

To create a project and a plan in Bamboo, you can use the web interface or the REST API. You can also import an existing plan from Bitbucket or GitHub. You need to configure the source code repository, the triggers, the variables, the dependencies, and the notifications for your plan. You can also customize the permissions, the branches, the artifacts, and the deployment environments for your plan.

3 How to run Bamboo?

To run Bamboo in continuous integration, you need to execute your plan whenever there is a code change in your repository. You can use various triggers to automate this process, such as polling the repository, detecting pull requests, or receiving webhooks. You can also manually trigger your plan from the web interface or the REST API.

When you run your plan, Bamboo will create a build result that shows the status, the duration, the logs, the artifacts, and the tests of your plan execution. You can view the build result in the web interface or the REST API. You can also receive notifications via email, Slack, or other channels. You can also use Bamboo to deploy your code to different environments, such as staging, testing, or production.
