Abstract

Software configuration management (SCM) is an important discipline in professional software development and maintenance. The importance of SCM has increased as programs have become larger, more complex, and more mission/life-critical.This paper presents a brief summary of a full report that discusses the evolution of SCM technology from the early days of software development to present, and the specific impact university and industrial research has had along the way.
