Conclusion
 This presentation provides an analysis of Gradle
and its utilization in software process

Introduction automation. It includes information on the

installation and configuration of Gradle, as well as
the steps required to create a new project using
Gradle.

Additionally, we will also explore how Gradle can

be used to automate various tasks in the software
development process, such as compiling code,
running tests, and finally demonstrated a C++
application for solving the N-Queens Problem by
using Gradle to build it.

Overall, this IE topic presents a comprehensive

overview of Gradle and its role in software
process automation.
Gradle
Gradle is an open-source build
automation tool that is used for building,
testing, and deploying software projects.
It is based on the Groovy programming
language and provides support for Java,
C++, Python, and other languages. Gradle
is designed to be flexible, efficient, and
scalable, and it is used by many large
organizations for their software projects.

Gradle is a versatile tool that can be used

for building and managing software
projects in a variety of programming
languages and environments.
 Java: Building and managing dependencies for
Java applications, Running JUnit tests and
generating test reports, Creating executable JAR
files, Deploying Java applications to different
environments

Applications
C++ : Building C++ projects on different platforms
and architectures, Managing dependencies for C++
libraries, Generating test reports using Google Test
or Boost Test, Building and packaging native
executables for different platforms
 Android : Managing dependencies for Android
apps and libraries, Building and signing APK files
for distribution, Running automated tests using
the Android testing framework, Generating reports
on code coverage and performance metrics

Applications
Python : Managing dependencies using pip or
other package managers, Running automated tests
using pytest or unittest, Building and packaging
Python modules for distribution, Deploying Python
applications to different environments
 Pre-requisites for Installation

Operating System (OS):

• Gradle supports various operating systems,
including Windows, macOS, and Linux. We should
make sure that our operating system is supported
by Gradle before proceeding with the installation.

Java Development Kit (JDK):

• Gradle requires JDK to be installed on our system
in order to function properly. We can download
and install the latest version of JDK from the
Oracle website.
• Link:- Java Downloads | Oracle
