Systems and methods that facilitate software development projects via employing a synchronization component, which enables synchronization among a state for a specification, a product and an associated documentation. A project manager responsible for preparing the specification can enter and/or store the definition of the specification in a specification database, in form of a Structured Query Language (SQL), for example. A differentiator component compares state of the specification with the product (e.g., build of SQL server) at desired intervals, and further identifies any discrepancies therebetween. As such, a centralized location is provided for comparison of the specification and the product, and for enabling synchronization among the specification, the product and the associated documentation.

Synchronicity in software development

A software architecture for debugging the execution of T-SQL and managed data-tier application logic associated with a single connection, in isolation from other connections, is provided. In the architecture, a database server hosts the data-tier application logic. A client connects to the database server and issues requests on the connection, which initiates the execution of the data-tier application logic. A debugger debugs a client process on the server. An application program interface (API) receives a request to initiate a debugging session from the debugger, and returns an interface pointer to the debugger, thereby enabling the debugger to debug the client connection to the server.
