VSS: VSS stands for Visual Source Safe. It is a configuration mangement tool. It is a virtual library of computer files.

Users can read any of the files in the library at any time, but in order to change them, they must first check the file out. They are then allowed to modify the file and finally check it back in. Only after they check the file in are their changes made available to other users.
