Abstract

Synchronizing real and virtual software environments. A first input of an entity identifier that identifies a software development entity and a second input of an operation identifier that identifies a software development operation that has been performed on the entity in a physical environment are received. The entity identifier and the operation identifier are on a first and second physical medium, respectively. The entity and the operation are identified in response to receiving the inputs. A virtual software development environment is updated to reflect that the operation has been performed on the entity in the physical environment. The entity and the operation are associated with a software development model that is also associated with the virtual environment.
