linking Test Complete to MKS source repository

I'm looking for instructions on how to link test Complete to an MKS source repository so that test scripts can be revision controlled. Something like the instructions for Code Collaborator at http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/20305/ provide.  I see how once test Complete is configured to access the repository, how you go about switching to it from within Test Complete but fail to find anything that gets our MKS repository on the list to choose from in the first place.



Maybe its not a GUI set up but a command line config I need to run or maybe I just need to have my MKS client plug in lib in a specific place for Test Complete to find. but I haven't found anything suggesting either.



Any help, pointer to documentation or clue to get me rolling will be appreciated.



thanks,

dave brower

    Hi Dave,



    TestComplete works with source code control systems using the MS SCC API. This API is implemented via SCC providers that need to be registered in the system to be used by TestComplete. This means that there is no "native" SCC for TestComplete, and you can use any systems that have SCC providers. We cannot recommend any specific systems for working with TestComplete.



    To learn how TestComplete works with SCC systems, refer to the "Integration With Source Control Systems" article and help topic.



    If you do not like the way TestComplete works with an SCC system you use, you can try working with this system using its native client, since it does not use the SCC API and may provide a more comfortable way to work with its storage. If you choose this approach, you need to take into account that not all files should be added to storage. Please find more information on this in the 'List of Files Added to Source Code Control' help topic.



    I hope this helps.
