Branch Subscription

Definition​

Subscribing to a branch in a Test Configuration will make MTA poll for new Revisions (commits) on that branch and automatically download them in the background.

Properties​

Business rules​

  • If the Account of the user that created the Branch Subscription is deleted, the subscription will be deactivated. The subscription can be repaired by anyone having access to the same Application.
