Is it possible to run regression tests with Jenkins? (I am not talking about Unit Tests).

Regression tests in my company are some VB scripts (recorded user action in a txt file and then compared to an existing file). We usually automatically run these using a job and an in-house app.

Is it possible to make Jenkins run these when a build is triggered?

Thanks !

As CI server, Jenkins is built to

run regression tests

It is plugin based, so you will find it can do pretty much anything you will ever need. It is really a matter of project specific setup. Also, supports different OS for the Nodes

enter image description here

As to desktop apps, when it comes to SendKeys and other interactive methods (I assume the process you run is GUI application), you need to run Jenkins slave agent able to deal with active desktop session, e.g. jnlp or as (my) workaround - setup keep-alive job every 3 mins.
