Background Problem Statement
Transition from conventional file based SCM paradigm to ClearCase paradigm
- Conventional paradigm
- Four separate “file Spaces”
- Development - developer private work space and group test
- SCM - controlled formal baselines
- Test/production - where executable build products are distributed
- System - all “other” i.e. operating system, 3rd party software, tools, etc.
- Each file space implemented as one or more distinct directory trees
- Data flow from development to SCM, then from SCM to Test and Development
- Source code control implemented in libraries separate from build tier directories
