what is v.s.s. ?when it is used?

Answer Posted / arasu

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.
