What is Jenkins:
Let's first understand what is Jenkins first, So it is a Continuous integration tool used to build (means compile and test) the code and deploys it to the production.
let me take an example , you are working in a team as a developer and you made some changes to the product code and committed that to the repository (Product Code Base) before deploying it to production server ,So the job of Jenkins is to test and compile your code to check if everything is fine with the product after the code changes. The code will be deployed to the production if the build is passed else the build will fail and you need to fix the related bug or defect introduced to the Product.
or more precisely
Jenkins is an open source automation server written in Java. Jenkins helps to automate the non-human part of software development process, with continuous integration and facilitating technical aspects of continuous delivery
