Don't Rely On Just One Method For Distributed Access To Development Assets

by Carey Schwaber

with Liz Barnett


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Providing access to the most recent versions of development assets like source code and test scripts is far more challenging for distributed development organizations. Today's software configuration management (SCM) solutions support a variety of approaches to distributed access. The suitability of each approach depends principally on the nature of the development shop's distribution — a main site with a few smaller sites, equal distribution across several sites, many sites with just a few people, or some combination thereof. Heterogeneously distributed shops will require multiple kinds of support for distributed access. And because the distribution of development shops usually becomes more diverse with time, forward-looking shops will adopt SCM tools that solve the problem of distributed access in multiple ways.
