Version and Change Management

The version and change management defines how to work with the development resources of which a software component consists. In a multi-user development, where more than one person can work with the same resource(s) simultaneously, this has to be handled in an alternate development path. In the DTR, the configuration management logs all changes to files and folders during the development process.

In this context the configuration management includes

·        Managing different versions of a development resource in the same repository through version control

·        Maintaining multiple states of a software component by workspaces and snapshots

·        Managing multiple users carrying out modifications on the same development resource through concurrency control

·        Managing distributed development of the same resource in different workspaces, which may reside in the same repository or in different repositories present in different geographical locations.
