Shopping for a new software configuration management tool (SCM) is like shopping for a new car. Smart buyers will do their research long before making a purchase. Often this research is quite extensive. Typically, it begins when the buyer prepares a list of desired features. Using this wish list, the buyer researches models to determine which ones offer the desired features, in the target price range. The buyer reads published reviews to get objective opinions from independent authorities. To narrow the choice, the buyer takes each candidate for a realistic test drive. Finally, after completing these steps, the buyer has the necessary information to make an informed purchase.
