I worked on both Travis and Jenkins  I will list down some of the features of both  Setup CI for a project Travis comes in first place  It s very easy to setup  Takes less than a minute to setup with GitHub   Login to GitHub Create Web Hook for Travis  Return to Travis  and login with your GitHub credentials Sync your GitHub repo and enable Push and Pull requests   Jenkins   Create an Environment  Master Jenkins  Create web hooks Configure each job  takes time compare to Travis   Re-running builds Travis  Anyone with write access on GitHub can re-run the build by clicking on  restart build Jenkins  Re-run builds based on a phrase  You provide phrase text in PR commit description  like reverify jenkins  Controlling environment Travis  Travis provides hosted environment  It installs required software for every build  It   s a time-consuming process  Jenkins  One-time setup  Installs all required software on a node slave machine  and then builds tests on a pre-installed environment  Build Logs  Travis  Supports build logs to place in Amazon S3  Jenkins  Easy to setup with build artifacts plugin

I would suggest Travis for Open source project  It s just simple to configure and use    Simple steps to setup    Should have GITHUB account and register in Travis CI website using your GITHUB account  Add  travis yml file in root of your project  Add Travis as service in your repository settings page    Now every time you commit into your repository Travis will build your project  You can follow simple steps to get started with Travis CI

Travis-ci and Jenkins  while both are tools for continuous integration are very different  Travis is a hosted service  free for open source  while you have to host  install and configure Jenkins  Travis does not have jobs as in Jenkins  The commands to run to test the code are taken from a file named  travis yml which sits along your project code  This makes it easy to have different test code per branch since each branch can have its own version of the  travis yml file  You can have a similar feature with Jenkins if you use one of the following plugins   Travis YML Plugin - warning  does not seem to be popular  probably not feature complete in comparison to the real Travis  Jervis - a modification of Jenkins to make it read create jobs from a  jervis yml file found at the root of project code  If  jervis yml does not exist  it will fall back to using  travis yml file instead   There are other hosted services you might also consider for continuous integration  non exhaustive list    Circle CI Wercker drone io Gitlab-CI codeship shippable semaphore   How to choose   You might want to stay with Jenkins because you are familiar with it or don t want to depend on 3rd party for your continuous integration system  Else I would drop Jenkins and go with one of the free hosted CI services as they save you a lot of trouble  host  install  configure  prepare jobs  Depending on where your code repository is hosted I would make the following choices   in-house   Jenkins or gitlab-ci Github com   Travis-CI   To setup Travis-CI on a github project  all you have to do is   add a  travis yml file at the root of your project create an account at travis-ci com and activate your project  The features you get are   Travis will run your tests for every push made on your repo Travis will run your tests on every pull request contributors will make
