Software configuration management (SCM), a.k.a. software change and configuration management (SCCM), [1] is the software engineering practice of tracking and controlling changes to a software system; part of the larger cross-disciplinary field of configuration management (CM). [2]
Configuration management (CM) is a management process for establishing and maintaining consistency of a product's performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life.
CCA grew out of a push to develop more reliable software faster. [1] Gartner describes CCA as “Embodying lean, agile and collaborative concepts core to DevOps initiatives, CCA tools bring a newly found level of precision, efficiency and flexibility to the challenges of infrastructure and application configuration management.” [4]
SAE EIA-649-2, “Configuration Management Requirements for NASA Enterprises”, was released in April 2015. [20] This companion standard is needed to provide a resource that standardizes Configuration Management (CM) requirements specific to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) agreements and design activities.
The creation of configuration capabilities in today's market means that configuration data is increasingly likely to be distributed across multiple applications throughout an enterprise system. [14] CLM software supplies the needed functionality for a lifecycle approach to product configuration. [2]
In the process of performing configuration management, configuration items (or work products) may be assigned a baseline so as to establish them as having a certain status. In this sense, to baseline a work product may require certain change(s) to the work product to ensure it conforms to the characteristics associated with the baseline referenced.
The term configuration item (CI) refers to the fundamental structural unit of a configuration management system. [1] Examples of CIs include individual hardware or software components. The configuration-management system oversees the life of the CIs through a combination of processes and tools by implementing and enabling the fundamental ...
