8. Git Integration
Why Was This Developed?
Integrating Git with Avo Assure streamlines testing, enhancing efficiency, reliability, and collaboration. Version control tracks changes to test plans and scripts, preserving a history of modifications. Backups ensure tests and configurations are securely stored in a remote repository. Branching and merging enables users to isolate new tests or features for testing before integrating them into the main branch after review and testing.
What is the Goal?
The Git Integration feature is designed to provide a more streamlined, efficient, and collaborative testing process that leverages the benefits of version control, backup security, and the flexibility of branching and merging strategies to ensure high-quality software development with faster, more reliable outcomes.
How Does It Work?
Integrating Git into Avo Assure has several benefits:
Version Control: Ensures all changes to test plans and scripts are tracked. This helps maintain a history of what was changed, by whom, and why.
Collaboration: Enhances teamwork by allowing multiple team members to work on different aspects of the project simultaneously without overwriting each other's work.
Backup: Acts as a backup mechanism. All your tests and configurations are safely stored in a remote repository.
Branching and Merging: Allows you to create separate branches for new tests or features, enabling testing in isolation. Later, these can be merged into the main branch after thorough review and testing.
