Agile and SCM

• Communication

• Collaboration

• Feedback

• Agile and SCM establish a framework to

– Enable focus

– Eliminate distractions



Agile Manifesto

•Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools

•Working software over Comprehensive Documentation

•Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation

•Responding to Change over Following a Plan

Good SCM is essential for Agile Software Development



What is Agile?


• Incremental and Iterative– Feedback, Adapt

– Focus on delivering value

• Self-Organizing Teams– Commitment

• Communication

• Working Code– Tests

– Integration

– Private Workspaces


Agile is…

• Values:

– Communication

– Feedback

– Working Code

• Tools:

– Continuous Integration

– Version Management

– Automated Testing



Software Configuration Management

• SCM Functions

• SCM & Agile Teams



What is SCM?

• Functions:– Identification

– Control

– Status Accounting

– Audit and Review

• Activities:– Getting Code

– Building

– Branching and Merging

• Communication

• Working Software



Agile Development


Repository


SCM & Agile Teams

• Coordination

– Version Management

– Build Management

– Testing

• Essential Function with Low Overhead



Distributed Teams

• Challenges

– Communication

– Feedback

• Integration

• SCM tools and processes can help



SCM In Context



Distributed Agile Success Factors

• Project Management

– Shorter Sprints

• Engineering Practices

– Integrate Frequently

– Test

• Review and Retrospect



Tools

• Tools Help

• Process/Workflow First

• Qualities– Fast

– IDE Integration

– Issue Tracking Integration

– Build Integration

– Automation

• People are Human



Summary

• SCM Tools and Practices Enable Agility

• Distributed Teams -> Communication Challenges

• Version Management & CI are communication

• Central Server Architecture

• Subversion Clustering

Central Subversion Server

• Central servers can’t support agile in large distributed environments.

– Slow networks cause remote sites to checkout and commit infrequently.

– Continuous build integration becomes impractical

– Single point of failure architecture limits availability.


Proxy Server

• Proxy server solutions have the same network performance issues for commits and other writes.

– Remote sites can’t perform builds locally if write steps are involved.

– Master server is a single point of failure for commits and other writes.

– No guarantees of transactional consistency between master and slave servers.


Subversion Multisite

• Continuous communication.

– Latest changes are available everywhere at LAN-speed.

– Merge conflicts are caught and fixed when they occur.

• Continuous build integration.

– Each site can perform builds and test locally with the latest code.

Subversion MultiSite supports distributed agile by enabling:


Subversion MultiSite

• Peer-to-peer architecture with no single point of failure.

• Subversion repositories connected over aWAN synchronize automatically with eachwrite operation.

• Developers at all locations experience LAN speed performance for both read and write operations.

• Built-in hot backup and automated disaster recovery features make third party solutions completely unnecessary.

• Transparent implementation doesn’t change Subversion’s behavior, so there’s no retraining.


Subversion Clustering

• Allows Subversion servers to bedeployed in an active-active cluster.

• Same replication technology asSubversion MultiSite.

• Offload build process from development servers at large sites.

• Latest changes from development serversare available on build servers.



• Shared nothing clustering

– No sharing of disk, memory or CPU.

• No single point of failure.

– Even load balancers can be made redundant.

• The cluster appears to end users as a single Subversion server.

• Intelligent load balancing for optimal performance.

• Failover is transparent and immediate.



• Can be implemented in combination with Subversion MultiSite.

• Local clusters can be combined into aactive-active WAN cluster.

• Entire solution can be monitoredand administered fromone location.


Customers


Summary• Unique technology allows distributed teams to work as one at LAN-speed over a WAN, not in silos.

• Subversion MultiSite supports distributed agile development by enabling:

– Continuous communication

– Continuous build integration

– High availability with no downtime.

• All servers can be monitored and administered from a single location.

• Subversion Clustering combines intelligent load balancing with WANdisco’s unique technology to remove the performance bottleneck of a central server and eliminate downtime at a single location.

• Subversion Clustering can be implemented standalone or in combination with Subversion MultiSite to enable local clusters to be combined into an active-active WAN cluster.

• Both solutions make full 24X7 operation possible.

• Both solutions feature a transparent architecture that eliminates retraining.
