| | Version Control for Software Developers |
 | | I looked at which files should be controlled, what their extensions are, who should have access to them, how the directories of the file server and workstations should be structured, what the software promotion model is (e.g., development, testing, production), and what the custom defaults are which make up the master and project configurations. |
 | | The revision number increments each time a file is checked in (e.g., the baseline is 1.0 with the first revision becoming 1.1). |
 | | If the software you purchase is sophisticated (the marketing rep can give you a feel for this), I recommend the administrator receive formal training before doing the initial analysis, installation and system set-up, and I would purchase at least the first year's technical support. |
