    I don't understand why is it needed at all? or over using the tool which is not required.

    Because, CI/CD tools are self sufficient to trigger jobs by time or by check-in artifacts into git/svn etc., No other tools is required to trigger the job.

      Hi MD01,

       

      Usually, it's required to run ReadyAPI tests from Jenkins. Could you please explain a bit your test scenario? Why do you need to trigger Jenkins jobs through ReadyAPI? Perhaps, we can suggest an alternative solution. I see that Jenkins provides API - so you can use it to get access to the target job. Here is an example:
