Jenkins vs selenium are they even comparable

Question

Hi, I am a full-stack beginner. I am using spring and maven along with angular. So I wanted to start using testing tools and try to also automate builds. So I found Jenkins and selenium popular on the web. What I know is that selenium is for testing only and Jenkins is for building, but also for testing. So, what is the main difference in the testing cycle, and which one is best to automate tests and make scenarios?

Hi@aminegac,

Jenkins is a CI/CD tool. So you can use this for continuous integration and continuous deployment as well. In Jenkins, you can find plugins for selenium, maven, etc. So, using Jenkins you can build your job or you can deploy your job.

Hi@aminegac,

In both the way you can do. But in Jenkins, you need to install the plugins for selenium.
