Use Torque's tasks in your Jenkins pipeline

After installing and configuring the Jenkins plugin, you can start using the plugin to launch environments from your Jenkins Pipeline. Note that this plugin only supports environments. To use the plugin, you will need to instantiate a Blueprint object with using the torque global object. This object can then be used to start an environment. The environment object can later be used to end the Torque Environment.
