## What it is
JenkinsPipelineUnit is a Groovy testing framework for unit testing Jenkins pipelines written in the Pipeline DSL. It provides a mock execution environment for pipelines, allowing developers to mock built-in Jenkins commands, test pipeline logic and configuration, and track regressions.

## Use cases
- unit test jenkins pipeline logic
- mock jenkins pipeline steps in tests
- test jenkins shared libraries
- write tests for declarative jenkins pipelines
- catch regressions in jenkinsfile changes
- test conditional logic in ci pipeline code

## When to choose
- you write complex Jenkins pipelines or shared libraries and want automated tests
- you want to mock Jenkins built-in steps without a live Jenkins server
- you need to verify pipeline behavior in CI before merging changes

## When to avoid
- you need integration or end-to-end testing against a real Jenkins instance
- your project uses Groovy 4, which is not yet supported
- you don't use Jenkins for CI/CD

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: testing, mocking, ci-cd
- domain: testing, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, cli
- tags: jenkins, groovy, pipeline-as-code, unit-testing, shared-libraries, devops, automation
