You have to run this tool in the server where SharePoint is installed or into the SharePoint Server with Visual Source Safe 2005 installed and mapped network drive to the VSS Database Folder [ Remote ]. Microsoft doen't allow you to access SharePoint Resources [Except web services] without SharePoint being installed. Which eventually means, if you are not using SharePoint Web Services and using SharePoint API, you need SharePoint installed [or, run it from SharePoint Server]. T hanks.

CMM The CMM provides a conceptual structure for improving the management and development of software products in a disciplined and consistent way. It does not guarantee that software products will be successfully built or that all problems in software engineering will be adequately resolved. The CMM identifies practices for a mature software process and provides examples of the state-of-the-practice (and in some cases, the state-of-the-art), but it is not meant to be either exhaustive or dictatorial. The CMM identifies the characteristics of an effective software process, but the mature organization addresses all issues essential to a successful project, including people and technology, as well as process. CMM is a reference model of matured practices in a specific industry and mainly focused on the Software Industry. It is also hard to integrate different disciplines all together. Support for coordination of multi-disciplined activities is required to build a successful project CMM on...

Reliability Reliability is a measure of continuous delivery of the correct service or equivalently, of the time to failure. In other words, it is the probability that the software will work without failure for a specified period of time (Far, 2006). Reliability is a necessary part of a healthy system design and development process. It is the right way to ensure right result to the right user for a given input to the system. Lets say, RMS is a web based Realty management system for the Home Buyers/Sellers. RMS has been designed in such a way that the system executes without any redundancy and utilizing most effective design and searching criteria.
