10.4. Multiconfiguration Build Jobs

Multiconfiguration build jobs are an extremely powerful feature of Jenkins. A multiconfiguration build job can be thought of as a parameterized build job that can be automatically run with all the possible combinations of parameters that it can accept. They are particularly useful for tests, where you can test your application using a single build job, but under a wide variety of conditions (browsers, databases, and so forth).
