Snapshot Views and Baselines

Snapshot views achieve their greatest usefulness when they are used as the baseline view of other projects. By capturing software development at significant moments, snapshot views enable new development cycles to begin at any point in an existing lifecycle.

The following example shows how an administrator uses a snapshot as a baseline:

  1. In Project 2.5, the administrator uses the take snapshot process to take a snapshot view of the QA working view.

    The administrator names the snapshot view 2.5 Beta SNAPSHOT.

  2. In Project 3.0, the administrator configures 2.5 Beta SNAPSHOT as the baseline.

    The latest versions that exist in the Project 2.5 QA become the base versions (V0) in Project 3.0.
