Subversionin käyttö kuitenkin johtaa ylimääräisiin ylläpitotoimiin LUTin tietohallinnolle. Lisäksi Subversionin julkaisun jälkeen on tullut uusia versionhallintajärjestelmiä ja tässä työssä tutkitaankin, olisiko Subversion syytä vaihtaa johonkin toiseen versionhallintajärjestelmään opetuskäytössä. Työn tavoitteena on löytää opetuskäyttöön parhaiten soveltuva versionhallintajärjestelmä ja tuottaa sille opetusmateriaalia. Työssä havaittiin, että Git on suosituin versionhallintajärjestelmä ja se on myös suhteellisen helppo käyttää. Lisäksi GitLab on tutkimuksen mukaan Suomen yliopistoissa käytetyin ja ominaisuuksiltaan ja hinnaltaan sopivin Gitin web-käyttöliittymä. Näille tehtiin

  • Decision Matrix: Selecting an Application Lifecycle Management Vendor
    DECISION MATRIX Decision Matrix: Selecting an Application Lifecycle Management Vendor Selecting an ALM suite provider in a fragmented market Reference Code: OI00068-002 Publication Date: March 2011 Authors: Chandranshu Singh, Tony Baer, Michael Azoff SUMMARY Catalyst As software development environments become increasingly complex and IT organizations continue to face budget pressures, application lifecycle management (ALM) solutions become part of the toolset necessary to manage development environments and distributed teams, and to ensure timely delivery of increasingly complex application software in a resource-efficient way. Ovum has developed this Decision Matrix report to help enterprises select the most appropriate ALM vendors based on technology strength, reputation among the ALM user community, and presence in the market. Ovum aims to provide a complete view of vendor capabilities, and advises on which vendors enterprises should shortlist, consider, and explore. Ovum view Delivery Management is increasingly gaining prominence to address growing software reliability concerns. HP, IBM, Microsoft, and MKS occupy the high end of the market and are the top overall performers. Decision Matrix: Selecting an Application Lifecycle Management Vendor © Ovum (Published 03/2011) Page 1 This report is a licensed product and is not to be photocopied HP and MKS have moved to the "shortlist" category since Ovum’s last Decision Matrix: Ovum believes HP's latest offering, HP ALM 11.0, with the leading position in the software quality management market, makes the company a formidable force in the ALM market. MKS advanced on the strength of its integrated platform and reach into the specialized, highly lucrative segment of the ALM market: embedded software in product automation and systems engineering.
