Quality assurance

Version control

Git flow is used for version control. The main branch is main and the development branch is develop. Feature branches are created from develop and merged back into develop when the feature is complete. When a release is ready, develop is merged into main and a tag is created.

Version number is compliant to Semantic Versioning and dynamically generated by gitops-version.

Functional tests

Functional tests are run on every pull request and on every commit to develop and main branches. Azure DevOps is contacted to validate each pipeline run.
