## Configuration validation

1. Verify that Jenkins can start on the configured HTTP port and that the service account can access the AIQ installation and ANT executable.
2. After saving the Jenkins system configuration, run a small test job and review the console output before scheduling larger executions.
3. Keep the AIQ controller URL, credentials, and workspace paths aligned with the environment used by the job.
