SCM War Stories


SCM War Stories are a collection of software engineering anti-patterns that SCM professionals have all experienced.

Hopefully, these stories have long been fixed and never again to be repeated.

To help in that endeavor, we have linked each story to an accompanying software development anti-pattern and best practices.

The end goal is to substantiate a set of SCM Best Practices that can benefit all development teams and organizations.

If you have a war story of your own please send it to us.

We would gladly consider including it if it is in our theme.

Please include your best practice that fixed the problem.

Future SCM

SCM Tools have evolved from simple checkin and checkout tools to fully encompassing ALM products.

In addition to source code control, these tools now encapsulate change control, software builds, project management, item/defect tracking, and fully automated testing capabilities.
