CSE/CCS 2111 Virtual Classroom
- Teacher: Yvette Otukana
Configuration management is an integral part of the software development process across all phases of the life cycle. It functions as a controlling discipline enabling changes to be made to existing documentation and products in such a way as not to destroy the integrity of the software. Since configuration management extends over the life of the product, and since tools, techniques, and standards exist solely aimed at its proper execution.
The module presented here is intended to be an in-depth consideration of configuration management including configuration item identification reporting and evaluation, change execution, tool evaluation and use, version control, and management related to configuration control.
In software engineering, software configuration management (SCM or S/W CM) is the task of tracking and controlling changes in the software, part of the larger cross-disciplinary field of configuration management. SCM practices include revision control and the establishment of baselines, among other activities.
Software Configuration Management can be referred to as the process to systematically manage, organize, and control the changes in the documents, codes, and other entities during the Software Development Life Cycle. The primary goal is to increase productivity with minimal mistakes. If something goes wrong, SCM can determine what was changed and who changed it. If a configuration is working well, SCM can determine how to replicate it across many hosts.
