Subversion

Subversion is a centralized version control system by Apache (https://subversion.apache.org/).

To get more information about Subversion, please have a look at the official Subversion online documentation: http://svnbook.org

Ranorex Studio uses two applications for working with subversion, which are installed with Ranorex Studio by default:

  • SharpSvn
    • Is a set of libraries for working with Subversion.
  • TortoiseSVN
    • It is a Windows shell extension for Subversion and provides icon overlays showing the file status in Ranorex Studio.

Ranorex Studio assists you with this dialog in case the required prerequisite is not present on the machine:
