SVN
integration also known as sub-version integration helps you to
perform troubleshooting, performance tuning, quick fixes and
prototyping without any external devices. Simultaneously, it also
helps to maintain the source code control. In a project that is
driven by a single developer or in small, agile teams where an entire
project set up is too expensive or possible, but there is a need to
maintain the code changes under version control, there subversion
integration tools offers easier options to source the code control
utilizing external devices and intermediate, working copy that are
manually managed in the file system.
Key
Benefits of Subversion Integration
The
main advantages of subversion
integration are
as follows:
*
Enables in tracking code units with respect to other artifacts such
as Defects and Change Requests
*
Helps to avail certain versions or the upgraded versions of code
units from other devices
*
Results in cross-tool visibility, traceability and process automation
Multiple
Uses of SVN Integration
Today
leading service providers in Application
Lifecycle Management tools
have come up with SVN integration tools that help a developer to
check out existing content application from SVN into content in his
personal development repository. The developer can also carry out
basic development agendas and then assess the changes locally.
Furthermore, the developer checks the altered content back to the SVN
repository.
The
focus on easier usage has led to selected design decisions that are
essential to have a clear understanding prior to using SVN
integration:
The
single/local user content repository
The
integration has been clearly designed to function with a local
content repository that in turn is used by a single developer.
Various users that connect to the same content repository instance
and are using the SVN integration on that very content is not
assisted.
Inherent
SVN operations
Selected
SVN operations are conducted implicitly, for instance the nodes that
are added to the content tree under a source control is added
automatically as well as committed to SVN when checking in.
The
SVN status on nodes
The
SVN integration is dependent on “many-to-one” mapping between
node. This in-between representation, is further dependent on the
files and folders and are then synchronized on a one-to-one basis
using Subversion. The SVN status is also displayed for individual
repository nodes, and are mapped from "real" SVN status for
instance the content.xml that represents many potential nodes.
