ABSTRACT

The expected Software Configuration Management (SCM) building of software is delivered to test labs for verification and validation by software quality engineering. Components of SCM are making sure software configuration has identification, change control, SCM status accounting and SCM audits and reviews are performed. Software configuration management (SCM) items are the software while under the development for programs, data, documents such as the software requirements specification, test cases that are referred to as SCM items during the software engineering development. The goals for an SCM must include planned activities to ensure that software work products are identified, controlled, and made available. SCM identification includes setting and maintaining software engineering baselines, which define the architecture, components, and software developments at any point in time. SCM methods are used for the development of software engineering programs and maintenance of computer software engineering tools.
