GitHub Integration

QA Sphere seamlessly integrates with GitHub. While going through test cases in a test run, you can create GitHub issues or link existing ones to the results, and every linked issue links back to QA Sphere. This integration streamlines your workflow and ensures efficient issue tracking.
