Comparison of Development Environments

As a development effort grows from a single developer, to a team, to an organization of several teams, so do the demands on development environments. In this article, let’s look at the range of architectures for environments that can support the evolution of software development in an organization. We’ll start with the simplest dev environment and finish with the most sophisticated
