[FIXED] Why does the Magento official documentation say that we have to download version 2.3-develop for MFTF (Magento Functional Testing Framework )?

Issue

We use Magento 2.3 for our project. The url of the official documentation of the functional tests with MFTF (Magento Functional Testing Framework) is https://devdocs.magento.com/mftf/2.3/getting-started.html

According to the official documentation we have to do the installation following these steps:

1) git clone https://github.com/magento/magento2.git

2) cd magento2 /

3) git checkout 2.3-develop ...

Our questions are:

1) Is it necessary to do the "git clone https://github.com/magento/magento2.git" of the official repository? because we have the project downloaded from the url https://magento.com/tech-resources/download and not from Magento 2 github

2) Is it necessary to do the "git checkout 2.3-develop" ??? because our project has version 2.3 instead of the 2.3-develop

Do we need to install the 2.3-develop as a separate project for functional tests?

Solution

There are three ways to install Magento 2.3,you can use anything.But cloning from github recommended because the contributors in github would fix the Bugs,so you can get better one
