# Development
## Software Repositories
The [Nagios Plugins Development Team][team] takes care of three projects:
* Nagios Plugins — the core bundle of standard plugins.
* Nagios::Plugin — a module used by plugins written in Perl.
* NagiosMIB — SNMP MIB files for traps sent from [Nagios][nagios].
These projects are maintained in separate repositories on [GitHub][github]:
* <https://github.com/nagios-plugins/repositories>
Contributions are always welcome! If you'd like to provide patches, please
[fork][fork] the desired repository and submit a [pull request][pull]. In
case you're not familiar with Git, you might want to look into [Scott
Chacon][scott]'s [Pro Git][book] book available on the [Git web site][git]
first.
## Development Guidelines
Apart from the actual code, the [team][team] also maintains the official
[Nagios Plugin Development Guidelines][guidelines]. If you plan on
contributing to the standard plugins package, or writing your own checks, you
should read them!
## Test Suite
The Nagios Plugins bundle comes with an extensive test suite. Some of the
tests require [libtap][libtap], a copy of which is shipped with the Nagios
Plugins source tarball. In order to execute all tests, issue the following
commands:
$ ./tools/setup # When building from Git.
$ ./configure --enable-libtap
$ make
$ make test
Regular tests of the latest code are scheduled automatically on various
platforms, the results can be [viewed online][tests].
