Software Configuration Management Across Project Boundaries and In Distributed Development Environments.

Abstract

When software development is shared between several different sites, or host computers, or even between different development organizations, problems which are not evident in more compact development systems arise. Many of these problems manifest themselves in software configuration management. If software developed on one project is to be reused on another project then software configuration management needs to extend beyond the individual project into a wider area. This paper addresses the problems of software configuration management when sharing software projects and between host development systems, and between projects, using an integrated Programming Support Environment. The discussion assumes the availability of some of the facilities that were proposed for inclusion in the UK CHAPSE (CHILL Ada Programming Support Environment). (Author)
