Software-Konfigurationsmanagement in großen Softwareprojekten

  • Published:
Informatik Spektrum Aims and scope

Zusammenfassung

Mit zunehmender Größe der Softwaresysteme verschärfen sich die für die Software-Herstellung typischen Probleme: Beherrschen großer Objektmengen, Erhalten der Systemkonsistenz, Kontrolle der ständigen Änderungseinflüsse und Gewährleisten einer langen Lebensdauer. Die Disziplin „Konfigurationsmanagement“ bildet den methodischen Ansatz, diese Probleme besser zu beherrschen. Software-Konfigurationsmanagement faßt die Herstellung von Softwaresystemen als eine Abfolge von kontrollierten Änderungen an gesicherten Zwischen- und Endergebnissen auf. Dargestellt werden die Objekte und Funktionen des Software-Konfigurationsmanagements sowie die hierfür in großen Software-Projekten benötigten Methoden, Instanzen und Hilfsmittel.

Summary

With the increasing growth in the size of software systems, the following typical problems in software production are becoming intensified: maintaining a large multitude of objects, the retention of system consistency, the control of constant changes and ensuring a long lifespan. The discipline „software configuration management“ forms the methodical approach used to solve these problems in a more efficient way. Software configuration management interprets the manufacturing of software systems as a sequence of controlled changes to guaranteed intermediate and final results. The objects and functions as well as the methods, organizations and tools of software configuration management used in large software projects are presented.
