Software configuration management (SCM) is an essential part of the development lifecycle process. An SCM tool assists in the development process and increases individual and overall team productivity. Because most developers use some type of Integrated Development Environment (IDE), it greatly benefits the development team to have an SCM tool that integrates with the IDE of their choice. Developers generally prefer to stay within the boundaries of their IDE when developing and maintaining code. Switching between an SCM tool and the IDE slows down the development process and prevents developers from reaching a high level of efficiency. Convenience and ease of use are also important issues when working with an SCM tool, therefore the SCM tool must seamlessly integrate with the IDE. A number of SCM tools for the Windows platform support the Microsoft Source Code Control Interface (MSSCCI), which allows providers to integrate into Microsoft’s Visual Studio suite. This article provides a glimpse into the MSSCCI. Seapine’s Surround SCM is used to illustrate a sophisticated integration with Visual Studio .NET 2005.
