Abstract

Software configuration management has become essential for developing software in an organization. It allows concurrent development and improves scalability and maintainability. Images are used extensively in web applications. However, images cannot be developed concurrently like source code because files are treated to be binary files. Moreover, when manual intervention is required during conflict merging, developers are not able to identify what portions of the image has conflict because the document is binary. This paper introduces an approach to how images can be developed concurrently. In addition, a tool was implemented to merge images and provide a method of visual conflict resolution.
