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 post-review and testing.
What is the Goal?
The Avo Assure team has developed a Git Integration feature 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.
