Census provides complete access to Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, so you can enjoy the advantages of version control--team coordination and version tracking--directly from your defect tracking tool.

Census allows you to link bugs/defects and other issues to the corresponding source objects in Visual SourceSafe databases, and to perform everyday version control operations. This improves development workflow and saves time.

For example, without leaving Census, you can check out a source file, modify the code, and check it back in. And without ever looking at the Visual SourceSafe Explorer, you can view the history of a file and get a specific version.

Because Census is Web-based, it gives you cross-platform, Internet access to your Visual SourceSafe databases. It's a quick, easy way to share a centralized Visual SourceSafe database.
