Configuration management (CM) plays a critical role in any technology development effort. This book borrows from lead author Bob Aiello's unparalleled experience implementing and supporting CM for more than 25 years. The result is a practical and actionable guide to best practices that will enable the reader to effectively implement CM in realistic business, engineering, and government environments. The thorough coverage outlines six main tenets of CM: source code management, build engineering, environment configuration, change control, release engineering, and deployment.
