Abstract

Software development for a large project like Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) requires an appropriate development process to provide a reliable environment supporting the coordinated work of scientific and engineering stakeholders. The first step to achieve this goal was the installation of a central source code management system (SCM). Besides being a code base it provides functions allowing the specification of a release procedure by introducing levels of acceptance specified by appropriate quality criteria. The SCM system serves as a starting point for automatic generation of standard code documentation and for performing automatic testing procedures on standardized integration platforms. In order to provide a universal documentation platform for the multi programming language environment at W7-X the DocSys system has been developed which allows to employ any (language specific) document generator producing html-pages for presentation via internet. An automatic integration testing environment is still being prepared and not yet in standard use.
