Continuous Integration (CI) is a set of good practices that combines the work of multiple developers. It has the function of detecting integration errors as soon as possible and analyzing the quality of the software. (See more about Continuous integration)
Continuous integration tools can be integrated with each other to generate a workflow. Some used tools are:

Jenkins
Jenkins is a self-contained, open source automation server written in Java which can be used to automate all sorts of tasks related to building, testing, and delivering or deploying software (Jenkins, 2020).
Jenkins can be used with different projects in a wide variety of languages and technologies besides Java, such as C, Python, Ruby, .NET, Groovy, Grails, PHP, and more. Jenkins can also be used with a large number of construction tools, such as Ant, Maven, Kundo, Gradle, etc.

SonarQube
SonarQube is an open source platform which manages the source code quality. It is implemented in Java language and covers 27 different programming languages.
It integrates properly with continuous integration tools like Jenkins, making it possible to automate analysis every time a developer uploads code.

Nexus
Nexus is an open source repository manager that can analyze the components used in software development, their security and licensing features. When integrated with a continuous integration server, it becomes a dynamic and regular analysis and potentially occurs with every compilation that runs on the server.

Apache Maven
Apache Maven is a management tool for Java projects. Maven builds a project using its project object model (POM), which describes the project, manages dependencies, and configures plugins for building the software. Its set of plugins make Maven a popular option for CI / CD.
