Version Control using IBM Rational Clear Case

we use both Test Stand and LabVIEW and would like to know what are the tested methods which have already been tried to maintain code from Test Stand LabVIEW. Assume that the main application is written in Test Stand and the rest of the VI's from LV are tied to that app.

 

What is the simplest way to manage all the code written in both LV and TS for one project if multiple developers are going to work on it ?

Don't use IBM Rational Clear Case

 

The simplist way to manage the code is to use Subversion. It is free, integrates with LV very well, has a Windows extension that makes it very easy to use - and did I mention that its free...

Regarless of which source code control you use you should configure your LabVIEW to separate the compiled code from the source code. It makes source code control meaningful. Without it lots of VIs can be marked as modified even though they had no code changes.

 

I also second the recommendation to use SVN.
