Source Control Components

Source Control can be thought of as containing at least four basic components:

*A tracking system that forms the authorization for codeset edits.

*A Source Control system that enables several developers to work on a single codeset.

*A multi-layered testing environment that a codeset must traverse before being introduced into production.

*A process for building and conducting codeset releases.
