Rule
- Testing branches must never be merged into develop or any
release branch.
- Always merge the original feature or hotfix branches.
- Testing branches are for testing only. Not for merging.
Combined Testing Branches
- Combined testing branches should be avoided.
- If it is absolutely necessary:
- The branch name must clearly show that it is combined.
- All related ticket numbers must be included in the branch
name.
- Example: testing/develop/XRES-1234-XRES-5678
Why this rule?
Combined testing branches were merged.
As a result, parts of another task went live unintentionally.
