Abstract

This article presents a systematic study of selection in version control systems. The requirements established in the software development lifecycle, are coupled to the criteria of the developers in different alternatives of version control. Each developer establishes their ability to work collaborative for the integration of software development with new versions, which are presented in different times, segments and works. The selection of software tools for the different stages of the software development process is a common activity, which is often done ad-hoc or specialized. For this, it is analyzed a hierarchical analytical process represented graphically for decision making in a systematic mapping study, based on the criteria of the developers.
