TECHNOLOGY PERSPECTIVES:
SIMPLIFYING CODE VERSIONING MANAGEMENT
by Denis Ulyanov, Exadel Chief Software Architect
In most development organizations, the code is usually processed through a number of environments before being rolled into production. The number of environments can vary, but typically there will be separate development, system integration, user-acceptance testing, and production environments. If the organization is doing concurrent development for multiple projects, there might be multiple instances of each environment. Also, very often there will be some components that are shared across multiple projects. All of this can easily lead to a situation where different versions of the same component can be running in different environments.

"Both technologies promise us better results with less code. Perfect, this is exactly what I'm looking for. I strongly believe that less coding is better, even if it comes with a price." Quoted trom the article.
