Hi

Its all about version control Is there any excel sheet example to manage objects modified in particular development of feature / bug. let say I am working on one bug and to fix the bug I modified few datawindow, structure and window function. 

I tried to create a excel sheet but if you know any better example let me know. Here is the column Struture frequency of my version release is of 1 week.

 

Major, Minor, Feature, release date, window,, dw, funciton, menu, table, procedure, trigger

 

I created columns for each object Its help me to migrate beta to stable, Sorry to say but I am still not using GIT for PowerBuilder.

Here are some fields to consider if you are manually updating a spreadsheet to use as your Verison control:

Ticket #            - the error number or bug number or ticket number
Issue Summary   - brief description
Source              - source of the error: Production, Testing, QA, whatever
Error Version      - the version of the code in which the error was found
Object [n]         - list of the objects to be changed, one at a time
                         In the header of each function/event/whatever, include a CHANGE LOG.
                         Alyays include a Revision line in the header every time you change the code.
                         See the sample header below (they all line up for me since I use Courier New 10 pt)
Description [n]   - A somewhat high-level technical description of the change that was made. Do NOT skimp!
Remarks [n]       - A user-level description of the change made, including "No visual change" if appropriate.
Date Started      - Date work was started on this issue
Date Complete   - Date work was completed on this issue

New Version      - the new version number of the code
Date QA            - Date the code was sent to QA
QA Acceptance  - Date that QA finally accepted the revised code
Date Installer     - The date that the installer was created for the new version of the code
Date Production - The date that the new code was put into production


Later -

Hi Prashant,

You will see lots of management tools integration with lots of bug tracking tools and lots of source control systems to provide that kind of overview.

Examples starting with letter A in no particular order. Each integrates with git and other source control systems. They all have hooks that allow you to expand/integrate as you choose.

Azure DevOps prior Visual Studio Team Services
You can link releases, stories, bugs, tasks, tests, test results, and integration with source control (built-in git + TFVC). Excellent tools to integrate onto Kanban Boards  and others.

Axosoft
Smaller company than Microsoft but similar proposition: planning, overview, and integration with source control.

Atlassian
JIRA port folio, SourceTree, and integration with multiple source control systems.

Each product has its fair share of fans and lots of videos on YouTube from both vendors and practitioners.

You should surf around and look for experience + pricing options +  availability in your geo/jurisdiction.

HTH /Michael
