Answer / rajanikanth--eds company

Visual Source Safe, generally called as 'VSS', is the
source control system from Microsoft. This tool was
originally developed by another company and later taken
over by Microsoft.

Microsoft recently developed a team collaboration tool
called "Visual Studio Team System" (VSTS). This tool allows
source control management and several other software
development management tools. Microsoft will be promoting
VSTS in future instead of VSS. However, next few years, VSS
will still be the most popular source control system due to
it's easy to use user interface, simple configurations and
availability of experienced users.

Visual Source Safe is available as part of Visual
Studio .NET products. The following are the various
versions currently in use by majority of the development
teams:

1. Visual Source Safe 5.0
2. Visual Source Safe 6.0
3. Visual Source Safe 2005

Visual Source Safe 2005 is available as part of the Visual
Studio 2005 suite of products. However, when you install
Visual Studio .NET, this tool is NOT automatically
installed. You must select this product from the
installation CD and install separately.

Answer / arasu

Visual source safe is one of the tool which is used for the
purpose of source control. Actually, Source safe was
developed by a company named One Tree Software. It had 16
bits of application. At the same time Microsoft corporation
also developed a new tool named Delta. But Delta had less
application. For that purpose at 1995, they bought the One
Tree Software company and modified the tool which was
developed before as source safe. Later, the product name
Visual Source Safe (VSS) has been released by Microspft
corporation. While releasing it had 32 Bits of application.
Purpose:
1. Keep backup of your source code or documents.

2. Maintain all versions of your files so that you can
retrieve any of the old versions of the file easily without
searching all over your hard drive.

3. Track which person changed what and when.

4. Control who changes the file to avoid more than one
person changing the file at the same time.

5. At any point of time, any of the team members can get
the latest version of all files from one single location,
without the need to ask each member for the latest files.

6. Track progress - project manager or team leader can
monitor the file change activity in source control systems
to find out how much work each person has done on each day.
