Line 1:
'''Rational ClearCase''' is a [[computer software|software]] tool for [[revision control]] ([[configuration management]], [[SCM]] etc) of [[source code]] and other software development assets. It originally derived from a product of [[Apollo Computers]]: ''DSEE'', which was ported to Unix and further developed by Atria Software after HP bought Apollo. Atria later merged with Pure Software to form PureAtria. That firm merged with [[Rational Software]], who was purchased by [[IBM]]. IBM continues to develop and market ClearCase.
ClearCase novelty was in its versioned file system, which can be mounted as a virtual file system through a ''view'', selecting a consistent set of versions and allowing for the production of [[Derived Object|derived objects]]. The view allows thus to map to a [[Software Configuration]]. This was a departure from the ''repository''/''sandbox'' model, allowing for the early management of artifacts (before they are being checked in, and not limited to these first order configuration items).
