What Source Control and issue tracking system would you choose today?
-
Yes, I know the question has been asked before, but things change and so does opinions. I have finally been tasked with exchanging our stone age CVS system and to implement an issue tracking system at the same time. ... And I just removed half a book of what I've looked at and how I reason about my choices, because I realize that I should get your "unbiased" opinions. :rolleyes: <edit>We're a small shop doing mainly Asp.Net and forms with Oracle as backend DB</edit>

How many developers ? What target technology ? How many location (including writing tickets, reading tickets, development, testing, etc...) ?

We use JIRA and SubVersion; and will be soon using the Crucible (codereview) and FishEye (code tracking) JIRA plugins.

Really depends on the team, their size and skill-set, the project, etc. Recently I decided to go with SVN for a project, mainly because I need both *Nix and Win support and nobody else where I work has *Nix experience, and I'm not using VS to develop it. Once git gets better Windows support I'll switch over to that. If I were in a large corporate environment again, with a bunch of MS devs using VS, I'd be tempted to stay with TFS. That unless until MS increases their git support in VS too, in which case TFS goes bye bye along with SVN.

I really do not know why anyone would use anything other than TFS unless they are cutting costs.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

Anything but TFS. It's not bad, it's just very lackluster.

I still like SVN even it is also Little bit Stone Age (but still widely used) and tortoise for Windows still Show a lot of misleading Status Information in Windows Explorer. But when one knows the "special" tortoise behaviour one can live with it. I don't know TFS but can imagine it is most valuable tool for visual Studio and worth to have a closer look to it.

We're a very small shop with an IT department that just shrunk to below ten people, but the number of people that should be able to write tickets counts in thousands. We're exclusively doing Visual Studio for the foreseeable future.

SVN lacks tools for proper Source Code Management.

Source control would depend on the project. For a really large code base - Perforce. For an open source project - Git (because of GitHub) Most other cases - SVN. As for the tracking system, I've tried a few and all are horrible: Jira, Bugzilla, Trac.

That's a good enough reason for many companies.

Are you happy with Jira? Any specific gotchas?
