We have a central CVS repository and multiple environments designated: local-dev, development, qa, integration, production. local-dev: each developer runs CFMX locally (on Windows) with either a local database instance or sharing the development instance. They have a CVS checkout area and have DWMX set up so the checkout area is the 'local site' and their local CFMX install area is the 'remote site'. development: we run automated nightly builds from the top of the CVS tree to the (shared) development server (Solaris). qa: QA have on-demand builds from the top of the CVS tree (or any designated labeled code set underneath it) to the QA server (Solaris). Such builds are intended to be stable, testable builds. integration: QA also have on-demand builds from the CVS tree to the integration server (Solaris). This is our production mirror, where we run load tests etc. production: Release Engineering work with our Production Support team to co-ordinate known QA'd builds from the CVS tree to the production server. Builds are labeled as necessary to identify them so that we know exactly what code is on which server environment. We also keep our configuration files / scripts etc under CVS, with separate development / qa / integration / production sub-trees (e.g., we have a sitewideconstants.cfm include file that describes the server environment, domain names etc).
