Best practices
Pipeline Script/Jenkinsfile related best practices:
● Use Pipeline as Code: Store your Jenkinsfile in Git Repository (instead of inline
script in Jenkins). Good for history, working in a team etc.
● Call your Pipeline Script the default name: Jenkinsfile
● Non-Setup work should occur within a stage block. Makes your builds easier
to visualize, debug etc.
● Make sure to put #!/usr/bin/env groovy at the top of the file so that IDEs,
GitHub diffs, etc properly detect the language and do syntax highlighting for
you.
● Input Parameter: input shouldn’t be done within a node block. It’s
recommended to use timeout for the input step in order to avoid waiting for an
infinite amount of time, and also control structures (try/catch/finally).
Other best practices:

● Use Automatic versioning
● Store common pipeline code in a Shared Library, so that it can be used by
other projects/teams
● Best practices and how to put it to practice:
