Software Configuration Management Classroom Training and Certification Classes

Software Configuration Management encompasses the disciplines and techniques of initiating, evaluating and controlling change to software products during and after the software engineering process

•  Automated Software Builds
• Automated Software Deployment
• Labeling all source code files and build artifacts

• Identify and store artifact in a secure repository
• Control and audit changes to artifacts
• Organize artifacts into versioned components
• Components reduce complexity
• It is easier to identify the quality level of a particular component baseline than that of numerous individual files
• Instantiating a physical component object in a tool helps institutionalize component sharing and reuse
• Mapping logical design components to physical SCM components helps preserve the integrity of software architectures
• Create baselines at project milestones
• Record and track requests for change
• Organize and integrate consistent sets of versions using activities
• Maintain stable and consistent workspaces
• Support concurrent changes to artifacts and components
• Integrate early and often
• Ensure reproducibility of software builds
