Workflow for completing activities (single-stream UCM projects only)

Figure 1: Workflow for completing activities in a single-stream project

Following the Work on activities operation in the workflow of a single-stream project, the Complete activities operation is the last set of steps. It consists of Test and verify, Check in, and Finish activity.

In a single-stream project, other developers on the project see your changes when you check in your work to the shared work area. Because any work you check in from your integration view is immediately available to other team members, you must test your work first. Developers working in multiple-stream projects do not complete activities using this process.

Testing source files

If you work in a single-stream project, you test your changes before you check them in. Build and test the work in your integration view. This testing is particularly important to do before you check in your work to the project integration stream and complete your activities. When you complete your testing, you check in your source files.

Checking in source files

When you want to make the current state of your work available to other team members, check it in. Make sure that you assign the version to the correct activity.

When you work in a single-stream project, any work that you check in from your integration view is available to other team members in the project integration stream. This ordering of your work means that you must test your work before you check it in.

Finishing your activity

When you are ready to indicate that your work on that part of the project is complete, finish your activity.
