Software Configuration Management Training Online

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
