GitHub Actions Pipeline Integration with SmartUI

GitHub Actions is a powerful automation and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform built into GitHub. It allows you to create custom automated YAML workflows directly within your GitHub repositories. This helps you to build and test every pull request to your repository, or deploy merged pull requests to production.

This document will show you how to integrate GitHub Actions Pipeline with SmartUI to greatly shorten your test cycles.
