Two developers working on same development simultaneously

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Two developers wants to work on same development simultaneously.

Can you kindly guide how this can be achieved?

Thanks,

Hi,

The word development, what does that mean to you?

Is it 1 functionality consisting of various elements, or is it 1 report in se38.

If it is the latter then the answer is no, if it is the former then ususally it is possible since you can divide the work on various objects.

Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Hi Sanjay,

No two person can work on same object at the same time. Ideally no two developers should do changes to same object at the same time.

If at all they have to do it, they can do it one after another & not at the same time and extra care has to be taken to make sure they are not affecting the functionality of one another. Also, all development then will have to be moved together in further systems or else it will create mess.

Also, this is a really common thing in development. Usually both developers will just communicate amongst themselves to be able to develop on the same object at roughly the same time (or you just call a method/function module in the main program and then you can simultaneously work on the different functionalities).

Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Hang on - isn't it called Extreme Programming? Two programmers sit side by side with one keyboard and screen and program together.

So the answer is "sit next to each other".

What - if all the workstations are taken, you just go home?
