Dependency Management is a crucial aspect of software development, ensuring that all the required libraries and dependencies are correctly managed throughout the development lifecycle. Below are some key points to understand about Dependency Management:
- Automated Dependency Resolution: This feature helps in automatically resolving dependencies, reducing manual efforts and ensuring consistency.
- Version Control: Dependency Management systems keep track of the versions of dependencies, making it easier to manage updates and rollbacks.
- Security: Ensures that the dependencies used in the project are secure and do not contain vulnerabilities.
