What is Source Code Management Software for Windows?

Source code management (SCM) software is a type of software to help developers track, manage, and version control their source code throughout the software development lifecycle. These tools allow multiple developers to collaborate on the same project by maintaining a centralized repository where code changes are stored and tracked. SCM software typically includes features like version control, branching, merging, and conflict resolution to ensure that code changes are properly managed and integrated. It also provides tools for tracking issues, auditing changes, and ensuring that all team members are working with the latest codebase. SCM software is essential for maintaining code integrity, improving collaboration, and enhancing productivity in development teams.

Kuscos also provides oversight of team activities, from repository commits to issues resolved. Better still, the same platform does this across more than 16 legacy and modern software languages. As we pointed out in our earlier post, and according to the Standish Group, over the past 5 years only 29% of software projects could be described as successful (meeting time, budget and functionality goals). Improvements over time have been minimal despite increases in code development efficiencies and design processes
