ABSTRACT

Quality Assurance (QA) representatives should always support Software Configuration Management (SCM) processes that are documented in plans and procedures for managing changes. SCM is a process for establishing and maintaining consistency of a product’s performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its product life cycle. The SCM process is widely to manage changes throughout all the activities being conducted by employees that have the knowledge to perform. SCM is the practice of handling changes to maintain its role for complete times. SCM plans provide technical and administrative direction to the development and implementation of the procedures, functions, services, tools, processes, and resources required to support all activities. SCM is crucial in ensuring practices and the control of releases to companies, institutions, military programs, and successful businesses. Some SCM systems may contain thousands of program files and codes, which change as the development work progresses.
