Configuration Management
Software configuration management is the task of tracking and controlling changes in the software. Configuration management practices include revision control and the establishment of baselines.
Software configuration management 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 thus becomes a matter of comparing different results and of analysing their differences. Traditional configuration management typically focused on controlled creation of relatively simple products. Now, implementers of software configuration management face the challenge of dealing with relatively minor increments under their own control, in the context of the complex system being developed.
