Metrowerks CodeManager completes your Macintosh development suite. Save time and money managing software development projects with CodeManager, the Macintosh source code control system based on and compatible with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe version 4.0.
Bring order to the chaos with a configuration management system that works with the project team to shorten project development time. Because today's software projects are complex, CodeManager not only works with source files but also any type of binary file including graphic, database, library and executable files. CodeManager is designed for use with software projects ranging in size from individual users to large, multi-platform teams.
Microsoft's Visual SourceSafe™ product is rapidly becoming the standard for programming project management. To ensure cross-platform management with its system, Microsoft has chosen Metrowerks to develop, market and support the Macintosh client for Visual SourceSafe.
With today's computing power and mixed operating environments, the task of developing applications software has grown tremendously complex. Developers must work in groups to manage millions of lines of code, all the while maintaining source-code and version control. CodeManager aids this process by acting as a central repository that tracks version control during the development process.
CodeManager maintains source code security while encouraging code reuse within and across project teams. The product allows source files to be checked in and out easily, with large comment areas to describe the changes between versions. Storage space is preserved by using reverse-delta versioning, which keeps the latest file and just the changes between each previous version. Metrowerks' CodeManager keeps track of the relationships between files and projects, so files are stored once even if used by multiple project teams. CodeManager can accommodate individual file sizes of up to 67 MB, and projects with over 8,000 files. An entire multi-project database may contain nearly four billion files.
