Do you know the right source control to use?
Last updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] almost 2 years ago.See historySSW uses and recommends Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) as a source code solution.
Figure: Microsoft Visual Studio Team System Here are some of the reasons why:
- Checkin policies
- Integrated Work Items and Source control
- Visual Studio IDE integration
- Code Metrics
- HTTP access via webservices
- Integrated Build Server
Reasons companies choose Visual SourceSafe (VSS)
- No server required
- No VPN required
- They are ignorant about the potential corruption problems
Figure: Bad Example, Visual SourceSafe (VSS) is a bad choice
Reasons companies choose Subversion (SVN) -It's free -It's easy to use -No Build integration -No Work Item integration
**Figure: Better example, Subversion (SVN) is an OK choice **
Reasons companies choose Team Foundation Server (TFS) -It's free (With MSDN) -It's easy to use -It's easy to install -High fidelity SQL data store -No VPN required -Does not require a server (basic configuration) -Has Build integration -Has Work Item integration -Has Test suite integration -Has reporting out of the box
Figure: Better example, Subversion (SVN) is an OK choice
