Disadvantages of a Multitiered Hierarchy

The disadvantages of multiplying subintegration workspaces are as follows:

• Each new workspace consumes disk space.

• Developers who ought regularly to be looking at one another's work may find it harder to do so because they do not put back to the same integration workspace

• Integration of the subintegration workspaces to the higher integration workspace can become more complicated than more frequent, smaller integrations.
