FIFA Gameplay Automated Testing with Jenkins

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

Jenkins replaces one-machine bash scripts to run pre‑flight tests for FIFA, integrating via a Python interface with existing build tools and handling 10–20 GB builds by storing archives on each build machine and copying only a small descriptor to the master. The pipeline uses parallel build and test phases with the Build Flow DSL, evaluates ~500 changes (vs 200 previously) and finds ~10 problematic performance/stability changes; an integration job increases from 1/week to 10–20 per day on the build farm with automated reporting.
