= A sample To Do web application
This project is a simple, MVC-based task management web application written in Java powered by Spring Boot. Its main purpose is to demonstrate implementation approaches for typical project automation requirements with the help of Gradle.
== Applied Gradle features
- Usage of the Gradle Wrapper.
- Support for a multi-project build.
- Implements various testing strategies: ** Unit testing with Spock. ** Integration testing Spring test utilities.
- Static code analysis with publishing of result to SonarCloud.
- Deployment of the WAR file to Heroku.
== Build pipeline
The project includes a Jenkins pipeline definition file named Jenkinsfile. The pipeline consists of the following steps:
- Compile source code: Executes the Java compiler to turn production and test source code into byte code.
- Execute unit tests: Runs the unit test suite for fast feedback.
- Execute integration tests: Performs long-running integration tests.
- Perform static code analysis: Analyzes the source code and identifies quality hotspots. For convenience reasons, the project uses the cloud-based service of Sonarqube.
- Assemble the WAR file: Builds the final deliverable, a WAR file containing all resources needed in the runtime environment.
- Deploy the deliverable to production: Pushes the WAR file to the Paas, Heroku, upon request.
== Running the application
You can directly run your application your local machine. There's no need to install a Servlet container. In a terminal window execute the following command from the root level of the project:
