Software Configuration Management (SCM) in Roger Pressman book Software Engineering: A Practitioner’s Approach, says that software configuration manage ment (SCM) is a “set of activities designed to control change by identifying the work products that are likely to change, establishing relationships among them, defining mechanisms for managing different versions of these work products, controlling the changes imposed, and auditing and reporting on the changes made.”. In other words, SCM is a methodology to control and manage a software development project.<\/o:p><\/span> <\/p>\n

SCM concerns itself with answering the question: somebody did something, how can one reproduce it? Often the problem involves not reproducing “it” identically, but with controlled, incremental changes. Answering the question will thus become a matter of comparing different results and of analyzing their differences. Traditional CM typically focused on controlled creation of relatively simple products. Nowadays, implementators of SCM face the challenge of dealing with relatively minor <\/p>\n

increments under their own control, in the context of the complex system being developed.<\/p>\n

A corner stone tool to start with is the revision control system, so in this article we will focus on it and explain its installation and configuration. <\/o:p><\/p>\n

Revision control – also known as version control – is the management of multiple revisions of the same unit of information. It is used to manage ongoing development of digital documents like application source code, art resources or design and architecture do<\/p>\n

cuments. Changes to these documents are identified by incrementing an associated number, termed the “revision number” and associated historically with the person making the change. A simple form of revision control, for example, has the initial issue of a drawing assigned the revision number “1”. When the first change is made, the revision number is incremented to “2” and so on. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Software tools for revision control are increasingly recognized as being necessary for software development projects, not to manage only source code, but also for all software artifacts.<\/p>\n

We introduce one of the best revision control system, Subversion, and will make guidance on how to install, configure and use effectively. In general use subversion \u2013SVN \u2013 to control any document, which is text based or even binary files, in the case of text files you will be able to use tools to show revisions differences. <\/o:p><\/p>\n
