Some information is given on the experience of establishing and using SCM plans of other organizations that manage critical software. A survey is included of available automated tools for supporting SCM activities. Several software configuration management standards are evaluated given the requirements of the nuclear industry. This report reviews the basic elements of software configuration management (SCM) as defined by military and industry standards. SCM functions and tasks are presented in the paperĬomputer software configuration management Software Configuration Management is directed towards identifying system configuration at specific points of its life cycle, so as to control changes to the configuration and to maintain the integrity and traceability of the configuration throughout its life. International Nuclear Information System (INIS) The second section consists of 25 appendices that contain many valuable real world CM templates.



Divided into two parts, the first section is composed of 14 chapters that explain every facet of configuration management related to software engineering.

Software Configuration Management discusses the framework from a standards viewpoint, using the original DoD MIL-STD-973 and EIA-649 standards to describe the elements of configuration management within a software engineering perspective.
