Hello all, We are currently working on implementing a new source control system and are turning to SVN as our original VSS system was not meeting out needs. We have the development side worked out, but our problem comes when we start to consider QA. The way our codebase and development works is that we have continuous development and QA. We don't have any specific type "release". We generally have more of a tag release type of promotion, where sets of pages / objects get promoted daily. While one tag is being QA'd, someone else might create another tag that uses some of the same files.
To exemplify our problem consider the following example: Developer A creates a tag set with the following files: - FileA.cfm - FileB.cfm - FileC.cfm Developer A then sends his tag to QA, and QA starts testing this tag. Developer B creates a tag set with the following files: - FileC.cfm - FileD.cfm - FileE.cfm Developer B finishes their changes and merges their changes back to the trunk. Then sends his/her task to QA. At this point QA finds a problem with Developer A's tag set and pushes it back to the developer to fix. In this scenario, Developer B has finished their work on the tag set, but it has inherent problems because of the problem with developer A's work. When developer A returns to fix their problems, the code has changed and now contains developer B's code, which has not passed QA, so you cannot promote one without the other being included. Am I over thinking this problem? I can't seem to see a way to allow this type of incremental release structure without opening a can of worms once code starts to get to QA. Has anyone else run into this type of problem before?
