Deployment, configuration and change management

The term configuration management refers to how the software process deals with recording and managing change. This includes the issues of source code control, versioning, building and deploying the system, as well as defect and change tracking. Controls should be built in to the change management process in order to ensure that all required activities and tasks are performed before the release of any system. For example, a problem report should exist and have been approved prior to the modification of any software or documentation; review activities should have been completed before allowing changes to be visible to other developers.
