• Describes how softwares are assigned version numbers.

• We generally see 3 parts in a version number, x.y.z (MAJOR, MINOR, PATCH)

  1. x represents MAJOR part - meant for describing any major backend code changes, support of APIs etc.

  2. y represents MINOR part - meant for describing very small changes.

  3. z represents PATCH part - meant for describing bug fixes.
