  VERSION CONTROL SYSTEMS: EVOLUTION, CONCEPT, COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Modern software is becoming increasingly complex while trying to fully meet the incessantly growing requirements of customers. Therefore, one of the main challenges facing software project management is the scalability of the development process so that it involves multiple developers regardless of their geographic location, and so that it does not affect the quality of the resulting software system. Version control systems are crucial for the achievement of this goal. There are many version control systems offered on the market, thus making it difficult for project managers to select the right solution for their needs because many factors should be considered, such as: the integrated development environment used, the number of team participants, the complexity of the project, etc. The purpose of this study is to develop a multi-factor methodology for version control systems assessment by: analysing the IDEs based on a study of their capacity through building a relevant test laboratory environment; developing an appropriate methodology for selecting version control system environments; applying the developed methodology for assessing the most popular version control software products. We propose a set of assessment indicators, organized into four groups according to the specific nature and variety of the studied characteristics.

The subject of the study is an interesting topic for theoretical research and it is up-to-date and useful in practice. The aim of the study is to examine accounting in theoretical and practical aspects as an information system. To achieve this aim the following tasks have to be performed: to examine the accounting practice of Bulgarian enterprises and its information opportunities; to examine the degree of application of the electronic signature, electronic banking, electronic invoicing and other electronic applications. The thesis statements are: the fast development of scientific and technical progress requires a change in the accounting information system; the need for comprehensive and timely accounting information requires the extensive use of electronic applications for transmitting and storing information. The results of the study we conducted enable us to outline several major conclusions: 1) accounting is a major information system in an enterprise, accounting information is a means for its effective management; 2) accounting regulations are in a continuous dynamics; 3) the aim of financial reporting is that the information in the financial statements has the property of ‘usefulness’; 4) the use of qualified electronic signature, electronic banking, electronic documents and other electronic applications is increasing, including in connection with the annual closing of accounts and the acquisition of fixed assets from the Operational Programme of the European Union.
