- Unfortunately, systems don't control these things, people do. There
- are however commercial products that can support doing these things.
- Typical are the repository systems, such as Caseware/CM and Atherton
- Software BackPlane. But there are also configuration management
- systems such as Atria ClearCase and TeamOne in which the repository
- looks more like a native file system.
-
- Many people mix and match components from several vendors for best of class
- solns: e.g. Caseware/CM for version control and configuration management, Merge
- Ahead from Prescient Software for merging parallel development lines,
- HP Softbench for intertool messaging, Remedy's change management
- system for task management and traceability, etc.
