Deploying new versions of server-side software is similar to deploying new versions of desktop software, however it is considered more complex and time consuming. Therefore, if new versions are released frequently and they need to be deployed to many servers, doing the work manually may lead to several problems — errors due to incorrect deployments, misconfigurations and considerable amount of time spent on routine tasks. This paper is a study of methods used for desktop software versioning in order to apply them to server-side software needs. The main focus was set on server-side software that is based on PHP and Oracle technology, however solutions where sought that could be used for other serverside technologies as well, e.g., ASP.NET, Java and Ruby. As a result, a solution was created and applied in a real-world scenario that helps handling server-side software versioning by automating builds of new versions, deployment and validation processes.
