GITHUB in Software Testing

摘要

Software development has an around for quite a while but the progress that has beenmadein the last three decade is quite remarkable. Every few years there is an emergence ofnew concept, new programming language or framework for software development whichleads to questions around management and control of the software development process.The goal of this paper is to explore the importance of software in everyday life and the needfor advanced software testing methodologies for producing reliable software products.Further, this report takes a deep dive into the challenges associated with distributedsoftware projects such as lack of effective collaboration, awareness of the project, codeconflicts and resolutions which play a vital role in successful software development andhow version control systems like GitHub can prove to be a helpful tool in overcoming thesechallenges. GitHub is a powerful version control system and there is discussion aboutGitHub how tester can harness the power of GitHub in testing. This paper will shed light onhow GitHub is used by software testers to gain benefits that are sometimes missing inconventional software testing methods.
