Version
Overview of Version in Centralize Automation Testing Suite
Version is a term used to refer to the classification of unique states of computer software during its development and release.
For example: version 1.0, version 2.0, version 3.0, ...
Why is there a need for versions?
Each version has certain changes compared to the previous version of the software. To evaluate the overall quality of each version, during testing, test cases (test case, test scenario, etc.) must be associated with specific versions during execution.
Additionally, there are values that change with each version such as URL, username, password, etc. Users can create version parameters to use during configuration.
