Microsoft Visual SourceSafe
has
long been a popular choice
for source code control and general document management purposes.
As corporate cultures and product development processes evolve, it is common now
to have people working on a project from different geographic locations and with
different disciplines.
How do you keep these people informed? Most of us depend on weekly status
reports that may or may not tell you the details you want to know. Let's say
you are a tester, and interested in any change in a group of files. You
often rely on developers to tell you after they made changes. Assume
you are a project manager of a related product and need to know all changes made
to a different project. You are also at mercy of developers to tell you
what is going on.
Many people would like to know if files are changed in VSS databases. They
have to log in to VSS and go through many technical steps to get it. For
most companies, there are simply not enough VSS licenses to give to everyone just
for information tracking purposes.
This is where
VSSAction can help! With an easy to use interface, VSSAction provides a
economical and efficient vehicle to keep your entire team informed.
You can customized
reports for each recipient on which file, action to watch, and how often a
report gets sent. You also define your own report format to fit you
company policy and style.
