StarTeam
Encyclopedia : S : ST : STA : StarTeam
StarTeam is a revision control and SCM software system, originally produced by Starbase Corporation, acquired by Borland in January 2003[link]. The system is backed by a relational database that retains all changes made to a project during its evolution. IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle database are supported database servers.
StarTeam supports branching and 3-way merging, difference analysis, advanced user access and security management, checkpoints, end user and administrator auditing, and customization features. The server is designed for distributed use and supports strong encryption for remote connections. StarTeam allows "live" backups while the server is in active use and includes an optional publish/subscribe event system called StarTeam MPX to enhance scalability. However, it does not provide atomic commits; versioning is performed on individual files.
In addition to file versioning, StarTeam also stores requirements, project tasks, change requests, and discussions. All of these can be interlinked to enhance traceability within a project.
StarTeam includes a number of clients, including native Windows, a web client, a cross-platform Java client, a command line interface, Windows Explorer integration, and integrations for popular Integrated development environments such as Borland Delphi. StarTeam includes several APIs for platforms including COM, Java, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. It also provides a compliant SCC API for integration with IDEs that offer integrated revision control features.
