Models and Methods of Software Configuration Management

Abstract

-The paper provides collection of experience of developing models and methods for implementation of software configuration management process. Nowadays, during the age of agility, startup of new software development projects is like an explosion. Sometimes, in a few days a customer is willing to get the first release, but formalized and reusable process for its creating is not ready yet. Software configuration management controls the evolution of software items and supports building and deployment process for product releases. Models and methods for implementation of software configuration management are presented in the paper. Unlike other approaches, the provided models and methods are related to decrease software configuration management implementation time in new projects. The paper provides a simplified use case to illustrate practical application of the mentioned methods and models.Keywords -Model-driven approach, software configuration management.

Model-Driven Approach and Library of Reusable Source Code for Automation of IT Operations

“…The first meta-model for this concept has been described in [12]. The first completed solution for automation of software configuration management has been introduced in [13], but the first practical results have been described in [14] and [15]. In the present research, automation of software configuration management is extended by other IT operations; in addition, the library of reusable source code and meta-models are improved and several errors from previous versions are fixed.…”
