How does Version Control operate For ALM/QC Projects
| ♥ 0 |
We had enabled Version Control in our project. While disabling version control, the test data got deleted that were not checked in before version control was turned off. Is this how it works? What measures should we take to avoid data deletion while working with Version Control? Also, is there any way we can get those data back apart from restoring back the project to a specific date? Assume, I have enabled Version control in one of my project and then I start making some changes to Requirements/ Tests for say 3 times (Checked Out & Checked In). Now, I will have the versions incremented by 3. Now all the entities are checked in back and then I disable the version control: 1. Will all the changes made to Requirements/ Tests will appear from beginning to last checked in?

Hello Wormy, I hope the following information helps Clear up your questions. ## First Section ## There will not be a way to recover the data lost. Even if you restored a back up of the project the automated tests wont be available. This is because not all of the automated tests are stored in the database the code is stored in the file repository. During a check-out the updates to the code are stored in the TD_80 directory for ALM/QC. The updates aren't uploaded to the ALM/QC file repository until check-in. ---------- ## Questions Based on the Posited Scenario ## > A) This depends on what fields have 2 What will be the value in Version field? > A) There should no longer be a value 3 Does it delete only version history or entire history for each entity or only those entity which has been checked out and in? > A) Only the version history should be 4 Since it deletes all history, would I be able to figure out the changes made in different version created every time I checked in the entity? > A) Disabling version control should Marked as spam
