Answer / kavita datla

It is focused primarily on maintaining the file changes in
the history.

Documents are subjected to change For ex: consider the Test
case document .
Initially you draft the Test cases document and place it in
Version control tool(Visual Source Safe for ex).
Then you send it for Peer Review .They will provide some
comments and that document will be saved in VSS again.
Similary the document undergoes changes and all the changes
history will be maintained in Version control.

It helps in referring to the previous version of a document.

Also one person can work on a document (by checking out) at
a time.
Also it keeps track who has done the changes ,time and date.

Generally all the Test Plan, Test cases,Automation desgin
docs are placed in VSS.

Proper access rights needs to be given so that the
documents dont get deleted or modified.
