best source control Shared repository for Vb scripts test codes in test complete

Should we install GIt hub or Git lab for our source control. I have just started to explorer and wanted to know what is the difference. Can script(VB Script) and name mapping can be moved to Source control?

Anything can be moved to source control.

Thanks Marsha.

So should we install GIT or Git Hub or Git Lab?

Refer to the following.


https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/integration/scc/supported-sccs.html

 

There are certain systems that support direct integration with TestComplete.  However, ANY source control system can be used with TestComplete files, you would just need to do your commits/push/pull externally of the TC IDE.

That part you're going to have to research.  You know your setup and users better than we do.

 

I did a Google search for  

git vs github vs gitlab

 

and there was a lot of comparison information.  Try starting there.

Hi,

 

In addition to all replies, note, that with a reasonable risk level it is possible to merge script code only.

Merging of all other files that are a part of TestComplete project with a very high probability will corrupt them.

So, regardless of chosen version control system, you need to design your test code carefully and avoid file conflicts and merging.
