I am working on a SharePoint 2010 Server and i have following items in my SharePoint solution
- Couple of web parts
- State Machine Work flow (which will be integrated to an Infopath form library)
- Infopath task edit forms
Lets say this solutions is deployed to http://[SharePoint201Server]:[PortNumber-x]/
This is the only server i have (No extra server for UAT), and what ever has been done so far needs to be given for user acceptance testing (UAT). I may create one more site at http://[SharePoint201Server]:[PortNumber-y]/ for it.
My problme is that how do i maintain two copies of my source code ? I will have to continue development on the same set of source code for next UAT release. I simply can not create simple copies of the source code as it will have same Assembly name and feature id, etc..As if i do so, any changes on under Development source code would affect UAT assemblies.
One thing i can do is to create seperate projects for UAT and Development with different Features and Assembly names, but is not that too much of an unneccesory work ?
What can be the best approach in such situation ?
