Software Configuration Management Handbook 2nd Ed.

Other books on the market have explored the principles of software configuration management (SCM), but none have tackled the nuts-and-bolts of implementing an SCM system — until now. This completely revised edition of an Artech House bestseller goes far above and beyond other SCM books as the only complete guide that integrates SCM principles, advanced topics, and implementation procedures in one easy-access resource. The second edition is greatly expanded with new chapters on documentation control, product data management, and SCM standards, and explores the latest advances in SCM tools, organization, operation, and maintenance as well as new software development methodologies.
