Q1. What is Atlassian Bamboo?
Ans
Atlassian Bamboo is a continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) server. Bamboo helps software development teams by providing: automatic building and testing of software source-code state.
Q2. What are various types of Bamboo Plugins?
Ans
- Build Lifecycle Plugin Modules
- Notification Plugin Modules
- Bamboo Event Listeners
- User Interface Plugin Modules
- System Plugin Modules
- Other Plugin Modules
Q3. What is the significance of Atlassian Bamboo?
Ans
It is good in finding and dealing with the complex issues that often declare their presence. The fact is defects are corrected at a very fast speed immediately when they are located. In addition to this, Bamboo is a powerful approach that cuts down a lot of time to market. As the applications are always tested, they can simply be moved to the next level without any issues.
Q4. What are the benefits of using the Bamboo approach?
Ans
There are certain benefits depending upon the task one is performing. The very first one is getting regular updates on failed and successful builds that are quite common in an organization. It is also helpful when it comes to automating and testing the application's code statutes. If something one is handling needs a lot of statistical analysis, one of the best things is it has reporting tools for this purpose. Also, it can deal with different types of artifacts.
Q5. Name the two directories which are present in the Atlassian Bamboo
Ans
They are the home directory and installation directory.
Q6. What do you mean by continuous Integration?
Ans
Presently, developing teams often work on different segments on similar web applications to boost efficiency, reliability and to cut down the errors. The integration tests are exactly what they need to be performed and for this, integration of all the modules is necessary. An automated process is considered for such an approach that basically verifies all the code. This simply lets everything tested in a serial manner and that is why we called it Continuous Integration.
Q7. Mention the features with which the Atlassian Bamboo is equipped with?
Ans
Build failures are caught automatically and thus helps in saving time, wastage of efforts as well as money. For a code commit modifies, there is an automatic notification that is acknowledged about the reports. It is possible to integrate it with the LDAP mail-server. It is also possible to automate various processes that are associated with the project.
Q8. Name some SCM tools which are supported by Atlassian Bamboo
Ans
These are subversion, Git, RTC, Clearcase, Subversion, CVS, Accurev, and Mercurial. There are other SCM tools but they are user-friendly and are easy to use.
Q9. What are the basic requirements for using Atlassian Bamboo?
Ans
The source code repository is one of the prime needs. Without it, there are certain challenges that can be there and affect the efficiency of work up to a great extent.
Q10. How can task handling be made easier in Bamboo?
Ans
The Atlassian Bamboo supports a large number of plug-ins that can make several tasks simpler. In the development environment, bug handling can be considered which assures smooth operation for the next levels to come. It is possible to integrate this approach with maven which helps in cutting down a lot of important tasks. It can also be integrated with the LDAP server to let the developers keep an eye on everything.
Q11. What are the two important components that Atlassian Bamboo is integrated with?
Ans
They are Build Tools such as Maven and the second is the Version Controlled System. Both these tools are equally powerful and can simply let you add efficiency in some of the key tasks that are associated with the server. They are good enough to deal with both structured as well as unstructured data.
Q12. What do you mean by a plan in Bamboo?
Ans
A plan in Bamboo is basically something that provides complete information on the configuration for the tasks being performed in a serial or in a random manner. It deals with the information that is related to Plan Variables, Source code repository, Build Triggers, authorized users who can change or view the plan. In the beginning, a plan has only one stage. However, it is possible to create multiple stages simply by considering a grouping approach. Different jobs can be grouped together and can be made run in a sequence. It is also possible to share build artifacts simply with one another.
Q13. Compare Bamboo with Jenkins
Ans
Both are quite similar to each other. However, Bamboo has some additional pros associated with it and the biggest one is it has a built-in workflow for Git, as well as for the deployment projects. It is also possible to integrate it with Jira, HipChat, as well as with Confluence. However, Bamboo is not an open-source technology just like Jenkins. In case problems related to code declare their presence, fixing them could be time-consuming. Bamboo can simply import data from Jenkins.
Q14. Name some software projects with which you can integrate the Bamboo?
Ans
There are several repositories with which the Bamboo can be connected and it’s all because of the built-in functionality that is has. A few of them are apache, Mercurial, Bitbucket, Git, Perforce
Q15. What are the tools supported by Bamboo?
Ans
Bamboo supports some of the very important tools as it has build tasks for Make, ant, MSBuild, as well as Maven. This is also the reason that why a user can simply perform the task in different languages without worrying about anything.
Q16. What are the benefits of running automated tests in Bamboo?
Ans
It will make finding and correcting the errors fast and help users saving their valuable time.
Q17. Name any two testing tools that Bamboo is compatible with?
Ans
Junit and PHPUnit.
Q18. How multiple jobs can be created from a single job in Bamboo?
Ans
It is basically a simple approach. For this, the list of tasks can be divided into simpler and well-defined jobs. It is necessary to make sure that every task or job must be accomplished before the next job is considered. This is necessary because many times it has been observed that a stage or a job depends on some or one previous job. If the same is not completed, there are errors in the next and you need to waste the time locating them. The problem in one job means problems in all others due to the same reason and i.e. their dependency on others.
Q19. What are Bamboo specs?
Ans
The Bamboo Specs library allows you to define plan configuration as code and send it to Bamboo to have corresponding plans created or updated automatically.
Q20. How to Test your Bamboo plugin?
Ans
Bamboo plugins are not dynamically loadable. They should be installed in Bamboo’s WEB-INF/lib directory, and the application must be restarted. The Atlassian Plugin Maven Archetypes include a plugin-debug profile that makes testing your plugin simple. executing the below command:
mvn -Pplugin-debug
This would compile the classes in your plugin, create a jar in the /target directory, download a copy of the Bamboo war, copy the plugin jar into Bamboo’s WEB-INF/lib directory, and start up Bamboo. Maven will also include some pre-installed data, such as the licence and database configuration.
Bamboo will be available at http://localhost:1990/bamboo, where you can view your most recent changes in your browser. You will be able to log in using the username admin and password admin.
