RE: Re: Promote code feature?

Hi,
Sorry for not making my post more clear.
By 'higher environment' i mean a code environment which is one step closer to production code.

So for example, code starts from being in the Developement server(DEV), and then if unit tested ok, it would be moved to QA server, where the Testers would test it. Once approved from there it would go to the UA server where the customer gets to test it. If approved, the code will finally reach the Production/live server.

In version control applications Alfusion Harvest, it can be configured such that specific code can ONLY be 'promoted' from within the version control from one branch to the other. This way, the developer cannot directly commit brand new code directly to a higher level, when it is not in the lower environment server yet. This is to ensure, that for example, code does not reach production unless it has followed the process of being tested via all the lower level regions first.

So, if a user commits file A as version 5 in the DEV trunk. Then, once approved, he will be able to ideally click on 'promote' on that version and the inventory will be merged in QA branch. The user does not need to have a QA working copy on his PC.

This enforces process, and reduces human errors.
