Using PVCS with SilkTest
Using SilkTest with PVCS allows you to manage your SilkTest test files with
a powerful software configuration management tool. You can retrieve and run
the latest version or any earlier version of a script, suite, include file, or
testplan at any time in a consistent, repeatable manner. You can keep track of
who makes a change, when, and why, and also ensure that files aren't
inadvertently overwritten or lost.
Note This chapter assumes that you are familiar with PVCS. If not,
you should consult your PVCS documentation.

revision of a work file quickly and easily
·
Prevent unauthorized access to files by defining privileges, which set
access levels for each user
