Description
Automatic Deployment Script is a tool to help web developers who use SVN for version control. It automatically updates the demo server with changes as soon as they commit changes to repository.
It makes our life easier as web developer, when we have to give demo to clients frequently, and more then one person working on project, it is very hard to keep track of all the changes. To solve these, ADS employs svn hook’s to execute itself when an commit is detected by svn repository. It also sends emails to developers and testers when it successfully uploads files to server.
Even if it fails to upload the files for some reason, we still have a place where all the files that has been changed are exported so one can easily upload the files manually.
