Multi-developer Environment

Agile Platform is a multi-developer development environment. This means that you can have several users developing in their work areas, not only in separate eSpaces but also in multiple modules of the same eSpace.

To support multi-developer environments, Agile Platform provides the following mechanisms:

Compare and Merge: This mechanism allows the developer to compare two eSpace versions and helps him/her merge the changes into a final version, using a fast and simple user interface. See Merge eSpaces.
Version control: This mechanism tracks the eSpace change history and promotes the merge operations whenever needed.
Personal Areas: This mechanism supports different developers changing, deploying, and running the same eSpace simultaneously using a single server and database. Each developer will be able to develop and run a personal version of the eSpace without interfering with the others. Learn more about Personal Area.
Add/Remove References: This mechanism promotes and simplifies the reusability of an eSpace. It also increases parallelism using small development units. See eSpace references.

After gathering the elements developed by each developer and the eSpace is valid, publish it in your Platform Server. Note that only one version of the eSpace can be running and tested in the Public Area; so it is necessary that the users agree on what is the head version.
