Plugins in the Jenkins environment are used to improve the functionality and meet user requirements. Here are a few key points to remember:
- Always read through a plugin's documentation and guide to understand whether it achieves your intended goals.
- Before installing, check the usage statistics and update frequency.
- Will it work with your Jenkins server version?
- Understanding how it works will have a great impact on how much help the tool provides, allowing you to maximize the potential.
