Upstream and downstream jobs help you to configure the sequence of execution for different operations and hence you can orchestrate the flow of execution. We can configure one or more projects as downstream jobs in Jenkins.
An upstream job is a configured project that triggers a project as part of its execution.
Eg : Generating war file to verify the application with the help of war
A downstream job is a configured project that is triggered as part of a execution of pipeline.
Eg : if we wanted to verify the above build in with automation scripts , we can use the above job as upstream job.. once the above job is successfully completed , Downstream job will start the executing of configured things in this job
