eggPlant Performance workspaces and source control

Eggplant Performance
1

Hello,

as our eggPlant Performance workspaces are shared between a number of testers we’d like to add them to some sort of source control system (probably Subversion with TortoiseSVN).

Are there any files or folders contained in a workspace that should be excluded from source control? (e.g. files generated at runtime etc.)

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,

The following lists what you can exclude from SCC
[list]

  • The runs folder of a project, e.g. MyWorkspace\projects\MyProject\runs.
    These are where all the files generated at runtime are located

  • The repository folders under both the workspace and projects as these contain the IDE and compilation files that will be regenerated when building.

  • .bak files and the WSLock file.

  • Optionally the Analysis folder under a project as which contains the Analyzer database that can be rebuilt from the results under the runs folder.
    [/list:u]
    Note that if you want to reliably save and recover complete snapshots, we recommend that you use the Export and Import Workspace/Projects feature under the File menu of eggplant Performance Studio. There are many inter-dependencies of the numerous configuration, data and source files and using this feature ensures you capture a complete and portable snapshot that can also be imported into later versions of the product. This would not be always the case with a file archive.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks, I think we’ll probably have to use a combination of source control and make regular backups using the export feature :slight_smile:
