Development Server includes:

Sitecore installation.
Database.
Source Control System (repository).

Developer’s Workstation includes:

Sitecore Installation.
Visual Studio installation.
Source Control System.

All the software of the Developer Server (SQL Server, Source Control System) may also be installed on separate servers, which would increase the reliability of the whole system.

The SQL Server may be substituted with any databases supported by Sitecore, for instance, Firebird or Oracle.

We will consider two cases below. The first one describes a simple single developer working cycle. The second one describes a more complex working process with multiple developers involved.

1.1. Single Developer Case

The scheme can be simplified if there is just one developer working

1.2. Multiple Developers Case

This section describes a working cycle of a team consisting of more than one developer

1.3. General Recommendations
