VSS is a Configuration Management tool. It is used through 
out the life cycle. The purpose of this tool is identifying 
the configurable items in the project. Keep those in 
repository and maintain version controlling.

Hi
   V.S.S is Visual source Safe.

   It is used in Configuration Management.
   It is a Version control tool.
   (maintains the Version control).

a)	VSS stands for visual source safe.
b)	VSS is nothing but configuration management tool 
c)	VSS is a virtual library of computer files.
d)	VSS is a common repository
e)	In VSS store the information like FRS, SRS, TP, 
Test cases documents
f)	In VSS documents read only but not modifying
g)	If we want to modify that first we need to check 
out (download) the required file to our local system then 
modify the file and then check in (upload) the modified one.

Virtual Source Safe... Visual SourceSafe (VSS) is a 
client/server application which acts as a storage system 
for files. A file stored in a VSS server is not available 
via the standard file system, instead, it must be accessed 
through the VSS client tools Tool Mainly useful to 
developer, for storing code and maintains version copying a 
code from VSS By developers is called CHECK-IN  Upload the 
code in to VSS is called CHECKOUT.

Its a good Q activaly.
The full from of VSS is Virtuval SourceSafe .
Its Version control Tool.
Sekhar as given in the above clearly.here we are going see 
all the CR DOc.and Project plans,SRS,BRS,..
as a tester we are going to check out the DOcs then we will 
start our process.

Hi Dinesh,

Please be careful about your spellings especially on the net
when correct answer is expected.

Visual Source Safe, generally called as 'VSS', is the 
source control system from Microsoft. This tool was 
originally developed by another company and later taken 
over by Microsoft.

Microsoft recently developed a team collaboration tool 
called "Visual Studio Team System" (VSTS). This tool allows 
source control management and several other software 
development management tools. Microsoft will be promoting 
VSTS in future instead of VSS. However, next few years, VSS 
will still be the most popular source control system due to 
it's easy to use user interface, simple configurations and 
availability of experienced users.

Visual Source Safe is available as part of Visual 
Studio .NET products. The following are the various 
versions currently in use by majority of the development 
teams:

1. Visual Source Safe 5.0
2. Visual Source Safe 6.0
3. Visual Source Safe 2005

Visual Source Safe 2005 is available as part of the Visual 
Studio 2005 suite of products. However, when you install 
Visual Studio .NET, this tool is NOT automatically 
installed. You must select this product from the 
installation CD and install separately.

VSS stands for visual source safe.
 	VSS is nothing but configuration management tool 
 	VSS is a virtual library of computer files.
 	VSS is a common repository
 	In VSS store the information like FRS, SRS, TP, 
        Test cases documents
 	In VSS documents read only but not modifying
 	In VSS , if we want to modify the previous version, 
first we have to download to ur local system and then have 
to do the modification, if anybody modified the actual one 
without proper notice, the guy information available at 
VSS. so should be careful while modifiying.

Hope this helps

Visual SourceSafe (VSS) is a client/server application 
which acts as a storage system for files.Visual SourceSafe 
adapts to the needs of any team member-including design, 
development, testing, and debugging.Most of the .NET 
developers use this tool for the source control.It is 
nothing but configuration management tool .VSS is a virtual 
library of computer files.In VSS, documents are  read only 
but not able to modify it.If we want to modify that first 
we need to check out (download) the required file to our 
local system then modify the file and then check in 
(upload) the modified one.

VSS is Microsoft's version control technology that is used 
in team based development environment to ensure the 
developers that there projects and files are protected. Its 
project-oriented features increase the efficiency of 
managing day to day task. It is fully integrated with 
visual studio development environment so all it's features 
can be accessed from within Visual Studio.Net.

VSS(Visual Source Safe), it is basically the file system 
storage area. This tool is available in different versions 
such as 5.0,6.0 and 2005. This tool is used for sharing and 
versioning, now days VSS comes with Visual Studio 2005.
Visual Source Safe 2005 is an easy-to-use solution for 
developers who want a simple way to manage changes to their 
source

VSS is Visual SourceSafe, it is a Microsoft product.
   * It is Common Repository
   * It is a Server/Client system which is used to store 
files.
   * It is stores the files as read only
   * It is a Version control tool

From a simplistic perspective, a Software Configuration
Management (SCM) product, like Visual SourceSafe (VSS), is a
central library, or database, of documents that make up a
project. Visual SourceSafe can store any stream of bits,
such as project plans, specification documents, database
objects, source code, and any other artifacts of your
project. As a best practice, all project artifacts, not just
source code, should be contained in a Visual SourceSafe
database for easy access, sharing among team members, and
most importantly, for version control.

Visual source safe is one of the tool which is used for the 
purpose of source control. Actually, Source safe was 
developed by a company named One Tree Software. It had 16 
bits of application. At the same time Microsoft corporation 
also developed a new tool named Delta. But Delta had less 
application. For that purpose at 1995, they bought the One 
Tree Software company and modified the tool which was 
developed before as source safe. Later, the product name 
Visual Source Safe (VSS) has been released by Microspft 
corporation. While releasing it had 32 Bits of application.
Purpose:
1. Keep backup of your source code or documents.

2. Maintain all versions of your files so that you can 
retrieve any of the old versions of the file easily without 
searching all over your hard drive.

3. Track which person changed what and when.

4. Control who changes the file to avoid more than one 
person changing the file at the same time.

5. At any point of time, any of the team members can get 
the latest version of all files from one single location, 
without the need to ask each member for the latest files.

6. Track progress - project manager or team leader can 
monitor the file change activity in source control systems 
to find out how much work each person has done on each day.

VSS is a poor tool of VB

VSS is a Source controlling tool.It will help us to manage 
the version controlling.It is a virtual library for a code 
files , when ever devloper required to modify any file , 
it's required to check out the files , after modification 
it required to checkin the same.

what is the Difference between CVS and VSS?

VSS is common depositary to store the code. We can get and
put on it. When we downloading it is called Checkout, when
we uploading the method is called checkin.

Total team persons can work on VSS. When Check in Status is
on the the file cann't work by other user.
