Visual source safe

It is the system where you can upload your project related material.
Every version of doc is available for you.

Suppose you upload the test plan 1 (version 1) after few days you made changes in that i,e. your second version. both are availble for you.

Hi,

VSS is visual source safe.
It acts like a repository for different versions of an application.

Suppose we have a newly released version of an application say "app 1.2", then we want to make changes on "app 1.2" and make it "app 1.3".
But at the same time there would be other people who want to work on the existing version and make it a new version i.e "app 1.3". Due to this conflict we use VSS due to which only one person can work on the application at a time until he is done.
Once he is done working with the version, he releases the updated application as a new version and then others can work on it.
VSS restricts simultaneous access to a particular application (i.e for working on it) so that no overlapping is there in the work for a similar version.
Without VSS the work would have always overlapped creating lots of confusions.
