Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The benefits of cost and efficiency to be gained from the careful management of software projects and the widespread implementation of the ISO 9000 quality standards have led to the emergence of the discipline of configuration management. This is now widely recognized as the most effective means of understanding and monitoring the processes and changes which occur during the evolution of a product or system. The Software Configuration Management Guidebook is a timely introduction to this important area for the software practitioner. Written by an international software quality expert, this book is intended as a practical guide for direct implementation of the principles discussed. Software configuration management (SCM) is clearly broken down into the four main stages of identification, control, status accounting and auditing. Sample plans and an analysis of tools, techniques and methodologies are provided and both 'project' and 'corporate-wide' schemes are examined in some depth. Illustrative case studies are included and international standards are referred to throughout. In addition to the guide itself, this book offers a wealth of additional material to aid implementation, such as sample forms, worksheets and checklists for a SCM course. The complete package is an authoritative source of information and examples for any software professional taking the important step towards a software configuration management scheme. Special features include: represents a whole package for practical and fast implementation of software configuration management programmes; provides checklists, templates and sample forms; principles clearly illustrated by two major case studies and many smaller examples; includes bibliography and list of standards for further reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software configuration management (SCM) is one of the scientific tools that is aimed to bring control to the software development process. This new resource is a complete guide to implementing, operating, and maintaining a successful SCM system for software development. Project managers, system designers, and software developers are presented with not only the basics of SCM, but also the different phases in the software development lifecycle and how SCM plays a role in each phase. The factors that should be considered and the pitfalls that should be avoided while designing the SCM system and SCM plan are also discussed. In addition, this third edition is updated to include cloud computing and on-demand systems. This book does not rely on one specific tool or standard for explaining the SCM concepts and techniques; In fact, it gives readers enough information about SCM, the mechanics of SCM, and SCM implementation, so that they can successfully implement a SCM system.

Book excerpt: The growth in cost and importance of software to NASA has caused NASA to address the improvement of software development across the agency. One of the products of this program is a series of guidebooks that define a NASA concept of the assurance processes which are used in software development. The Software Assurance Guidebook, SMAP-GB-A201, issued in September, 1989, provides an overall picture of the concepts and practices of NASA in software assurance. Lower level guidebooks focus on specific activities that fall within the software assurance discipline, and provide more detailed information for the manager and/or practitioner. This is the Software Configuration Management Guidebook which describes software configuration management in a way that is compatible with practices in industry and at NASA Centers. Software configuration management is a key software development process, and is essential for doing software assurance. Unspecified Center ...
