This is a simple demonstration application used in the Jenkins: The Definitive Guide book.

Building the project

The project is a simple multi-module Maven project. To build the whole project, just run mvn install from the root directory.

Running the game

The application is a very simple online version of Conway's 'game of life'. To see what the game does, run mvn install as described above, then go to the gameoflife-web directory and run mvn jetty:run. The application will be running on http://localhost:9090.

Running the acceptance tests

The acceptance tests are written using Webdriver and Serenity (previously known as 'Thucydides'). They are designed to run against a running server. Run the jetty instance as described about, then, in another window, go to the gameoflife-acceptance-tests directory and run mvn clean verify. The test reports will be generated in the target/site/thucydides directory.

The book
