Developing and Validating Jenkins Pipelines

" summary

Overview of testing Jenkins pipelines: explains Jenkins pipelines (Jenkinsfile in Groovy) and limitations of testing with JenkinsUnit, introduces pipelineUnit to test declarative pipelines without a running Jenkins, and discusses that some errors only appear on a real Jenkins instance. Recommends using Jenkins-provided test-harness or acceptance-test-harness (JUnit4/Maven Java tests) for integration checks but proposes Robot Framework as a less Java-centric way to test Jenkins jobs in a real Jenkins environment.
