Introduction

Changes are an inevitable part of any software project. If these changes are not managed properly‚ there is an adverse impact on cost‚ schedule‚ and quality.

Poorly managed changes result in inconsistent work products‚ increase in errors‚ and confusion and rework. Software configuration management (SCM) provides a disciplined approach to change management‚ spanning the entire software process.

SCM involves managing a software configuration‚ which is the collection of interrelated items required to understand and create software.

Course Highlights

When a change is required in a software project‚ impact analysis is performed to identify the SCIs to be changed. While conducting impact analysis‚ requirements traceability is useful because it establishes the relationship between SCIs and requirements. SCIs are reviewed‚ approved‚ and established as a baseline into a project repository. The team members make changes to these baselined SCIs by using a formal change control process that includes check-out and check-in activities.

The course has been co-authored by the internationally recognized consultant and authority on software engineering — Dr. Roger S. Pressman .

Dr. Pressman is an internationally recognized authority in software engineering. He is consultant to many Fortune 500 companies. He is also the author of six books including the world‘s most widely used software engineering textbook — Software Engineering: A Practitioner‘s Approach.
