The main objective of the thesis is to perform an analysis of the existing version control systems and their role in the software development process.Firstly, author makes a literature review on the topic of source control and gives all the necessary definitions of different mechanisms of version control software work.Then author creates a general overview of the current version control system solutions, their advantages and disadvantages.Next, in order to analyze usage of Microsoft Team Foundation Server as a source control management tool, the case study is presented. Development environment of a Czech telecommunication software company is described and its staff’s experiences with version control are evaluated. Then, version control systems are evaluated from a perspective of corporate software development. It is shown how this type of software can contribute to the development process and how it can be used in order to achieve more than it was originally intended by its authors. This part of the research is targeted mainly to a large software development companies.
