How to have full CI/CD in openshift? - continuous-integration

Question

I know it's possible to have that when using Jenkins inside of Openshift, but when using pure build images it seems full CI/CD seems to be missing.
Our perfect scenario for each push to 'master' branch would be:
build app
run unit tests
notify team if failed to build
deploy image
notify if failed to start
Simple Openshift build setup only includes bold items.
Can we have full CI/CD inside of Openshift? Or should we do checks outside?
Also notifications on failures are still missing in Openshift as far as I know.

Personally, I think you had better use the OpenShift Pipeline Jebkins Plugin for your use.
It can be implemented your own CI/CD using various ways, so it's a just sample. Maybe you would undergo trial and error for finding your own CI/CD configurations.
For example, simple build and deploy description using OpenShift Pipeline Jenkins Plugin.

And post notification for the job result is configured using Cleaning up and notifications.
