Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 2005 is a file-level version control system that delivers restore point and team coordination capabilities

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 2005 is the last version of Microsoft's source control software package oriented towards small software development projects. Visual SourceSafe 2005 is a file-level version control system that delivers restore point and team coordination capabilities.

Visual SourceSafe 2005 supports cross-platform development by allowing collaborative editing and sharing of data. It is designed to handle the tracking and portability issues involved in maintaining one source control base across multiple operating systems.

Here is a list of key functions provided by Visual SourceSafe 2005:

  • Helps protect developers team from accidental file loss.
  • Allows back-tracking to earlier versions of a file.
  • Supports branching, sharing, merging, and management of file releases.
  • Tracks versions of entire projects.
  • Tracks modular code (one file that is reused, or shared, by multiple projects).
