8## Software Repositories
9
10The [Nagios Plugins Development Team][team] takes care of three projects:
11
12* Nagios Plugins &mdash; the core bundle of standard plugins.
13* Nagios::Plugin &mdash; a module used by plugins written in Perl.
14* NagiosMIB &mdash; SNMP MIB files for traps sent from [Nagios][nagios].
15
16These projects are maintained in separate repositories on [GitHub][github]:
17
18* <https://github.com/nagios-plugins/repositories>
19
20Contributions are always welcome! If you'd like to provide patches, please
21[fork][fork] the desired repository and submit a [pull request][pull]. In
22case you're not familiar with Git, you might want to look into [Scott
23Chacon][scott]'s [Pro Git][book] book available on the [Git web site][git]
24first.

26## Development Guidelines
27
28Apart from the actual code, the [team][team] also maintains the official
29[Nagios Plugin Development Guidelines][guidelines]. If you plan on
30contributing to the standard plugins package, or writing your own checks, you
31should read them!
32
33## Test Suite
34
35The Nagios Plugins bundle comes with an extensive test suite. Some of the
36tests require [libtap][libtap], a copy of which is shipped with the Nagios
37Plugins source tarball. In order to execute all tests, issue the following
38commands:
39
40 $ ./tools/setup # When building from Git.
41 $ ./configure --enable-libtap
42 $ make
43 $ make test
44
45Regular tests of the latest code are scheduled automatically on various
46platforms, the results can be [viewed online][tests].
