 Definition of SCM

• Software Configuration Management (SCM) is an

arrangement of exercises such as;
Task of tracking
Controlling changes
Revision control
Establishment of baselines
Controlling costs and Work effort
 Need for SCM
• Multiple people working on software which is continually
updating
• Cases where multiple versions, branches, authors are
involved
• Changes in user requirement
• Adaptive on various machines and Operating Systems
• Helps to develop co-ordination among stakeholders
• Beneficial in controlling the costs

Summary of the paper
A computer-implemented method of controlling
version branching within a software
configuration management system (SCMS) can
include, responsive to a user initiating a check-
out operation of a file within the SCMS,
identifying the file and a workspace of the user
and searching nodes of the repositories of the
SCMS for a successor version of the file
The existing SCM system has only focused on
code artifacts and software development
document artifacts such as Software
Requirements Specification (SRS), Software
Design Description (SDD), and Software Test
Description (STD). Moreover, software research-
oriented project comes out late the code
artifacts and the software development
document artifacts.
 Tasks involved in SCM process
• Configuration Identification
• Baselines
• Change Control
• Configuration Status Accounting
• Configuration Audits and Reviews
 Participants of SCM process
• Configuration Manager
• Developer
• Auditor
• Project Manager
• User
 Software Configuration Management Plan
• IEEE 828 or organization specific standard
• Types of documents to be managed and a document naming.
• Defines the person who will be responsible for the entire
SCM process and creation of baselines.
• Fix policies for version management & change control
• Define tools which can be used during the SCM process
• Configuration management database for recording
configuration information
 Software Configuration Management Tools
• CFEngine: A configuration management tool that provides
automatic configuration for huge computer systems.
• CHEF: An automation platform that provides a way to
configure and manage infrastructure.
• Ansible: An open source Software configuration
management, deployment, orchestration tool.
