Abstract

Configuration management (CM) is the discipline of controlling changes in large and complex systems. Its goal is to prevent the chaos caused by the numerous corrections, extensions, and adaptations that are applied to any large system over its lifetime. The goal of CM is to ensure a systematic and traceable development process, so that a system is in a well-defined state with accurate specifications and verified quality attributes at all times.
