Importance of Subversion Integration
SVN integration also known as sub-version integration helps you to perform troubleshooting, performance tuning, quick fixes and prototyping without any external devices. Simultaneously, it also helps to maintain the source code control. In a project that is driven by a single developer or in small, agile teams where an entire project set up is too expensive or possible, but there is a need to maintain the code changes under version control, there subversion integration tools offers easier options to source the code control utilizing external devices and intermediate, working copy that are manually managed in the file system.
Key Benefits of Subversion Integration
The main advantages of subversion integration are as follows:
* Enables in tracking code units with respect to other artifacts such as Defects and Change Requests
* Helps to avail certain versions or the upgraded versions of code units from other devices
* Results in cross-tool visibility, traceability and process automation
Multiple Uses of SVN Integration
Today leading service providers in Application Lifecycle Management tools have come up with SVN integration tools that help a developer to check out existing content application from SVN into content in his personal development repository. The developer can also carry out basic development agendas and then assess the changes locally. Furthermore, the developer checks the altered content back to the SVN repository.
The focus on easier usage has led to selected design decisions that are essential to have a clear understanding prior to using SVN integration:
The single/local user content repository
The integration has been clearly designed to function with a local content repository that in turn is used by a single developer. Various users that connect to the same content repository instance and are using the SVN integration on that very content is not assisted.
Inherent SVN operations
Selected SVN operations are conducted implicitly, for instance the nodes that are added to the content tree under a source control is added automatically as well as committed to SVN when checking in.
The SVN status on nodes
The SVN integration is dependent on “many-to-one” mapping between node. This in-between representation, is further dependent on the files and folders and are then synchronized on a one-to-one basis using Subversion. The SVN status is also displayed for individual repository nodes, and are mapped from “real” SVN status for instance the content.xml that represents many potential nodes.
