These include: Procurement Finance for example, by linking to the general ledger Contract Manager Verify that the event must be reported. If yes, continue with ST 3. Examples of events that should trigger stakeholder notification include: Received and accepted items Installation of the asset for example, for depreciation start date Lost or stolen item Retirement or disposal of an item for finance Configuration Auditor ST 3.

Software Support Downloads. Software Education Services. Submit Service Request. View Service Requests. A development team spends two months coding from a baselined design description that, unbeknown to them, has outstanding change requests.

When the change requests are finally implemented the design is substantially different. Ten thousand lines of code have to be re-worked. This loss could have been avoided if the configuration status of the design description was known to the software developers. In this context, release refers to the distribution of a software configuration item outside the development activity; this includes internal releases as well as distribution to customers.

When different versions of a software item are available for delivery such as versions for different platforms or versions with varying capabilities , it is frequently necessary to recreate specific versions and package the correct materials for delivery of the version.

The software library is a key element in accomplishing release and delivery tasks. Software building is the activity of combining the correct versions of software configuration items, using the appropriate configuration data, into an executable program for delivery to a customer or other recipient, such as the testing activity. For systems with hardware or firmware, the executable program is delivered to the system-building activity. Build instructions ensure that the proper build steps are taken in the correct sequence.

In addition to building software for new releases, it is usually also necessary for SCM to have the capability to reproduce previous releases for recovery, testing, maintenance, or additional release purposes. Software is built using particular versions of supporting tools, such as compilers see Compiler Basics in the Computing Foundations KA.

It might be necessary to rebuild an exact copy of a previously built software configuration item. In this case, supporting tools and associated build instructions need to be under SCM control to ensure availability of the correct versions of the tools. A tool capability is useful for selecting the correct versions of software items for a given target environment and for automating the process of building the software from the selected versions and appropriate configuration data.

For projects with parallel or distributed development environments, this tool capability is necessary. Most software engineering environments provide this capability. The build process and products are often subject to software quality verification.

Outputs of the build process might be needed for future reference and may become quality assurance records. Software release management encompasses the identification, packaging, and delivery of the elements of a product — for example, an executable program, documentation, release notes, and configuration data. Given that product changes can occur on a continuing basis, one concern for release management is determining when to issue a release. The severity of the problems addressed by the release and measurements of the fault densities of prior releases affect this decision.

The packaging task must identify which product items are to be delivered and then select the correct variants of those items, given the intended application of the product. The information documenting the physical contents of a release is known as a version description document. The release notes typically describe new capabilities, known problems, and platform requirements necessary for proper product operation.

The package to be released also contains installation or upgrading instructions. The latter can be complicated by the fact that some current users might have versions that are several releases old.

In some cases, release management might be required in order to track distribution of the product to various customers or target systems — for example, in a case where the supplier was required to notify a customer of newly reported problems. Finally, a mechanism to ensure the integrity of the released item can be implemented — for example by releasing a digital signature with it.

A tool capability is needed for supporting these release management functions. It is useful to have a connection with the tool capability supporting the change request process in order to map release contents to the SCRs that have been received.

This tool capability might also maintain information on various target platforms and on various customer environments. When discussing software configuration management tools, it is helpful to classify them.

SCM tools can be divided into three classes in terms of the scope at which they provide support: individual support, project-related support, and companywide- process support. Individual support tools are appropriate and typically sufficient for small organizations or development groups without variants of their software products or other complex SCM requirements.

They include:. Project-related support tools mainly support workspace management for development teams and integrators; they are typically able to support distributed development environments. Such tools are appropriate for medium to large organizations with variants of their software products and parallel development but no certification requirements. Companywide-process support tools can typically automate portions of a companywide process, providing support for workflow managements, roles, and responsibilities.

They are able to handle many items, data, and life cycles. Such tools add to project-related support by supporting a more formal development process, including certification requirements.

Stephen P. This book expresses useful SCM practices and strategies as patterns. The patterns can be implemented using various tools, but they are expressed in a tool-agnostic fashion. This model presents a collection of best practices to help software development organizations improve their processes.
