Abstract

Software configuration management is a discipline that controls software evolution process. Nowadays this process is not only challenge to choose the best version control system o branching strategy for particular project. Together with source code management the following tasks should be solved: continuous integration, continuous delivery, release management, build management etc. Usually software development companies already have a set of tools to support mentioned processes. The main challenge is to adopt this solutions to new projects as soon as possible with minimum efforts of manual steps. The article provides new model-driven approach to increase reuse of existing solutions in configuration management area. In order to illustrate the approach, there were developed new meta-models that are purposed for development of different configuration management models in context of a model-driven approach. This article provides a simplified example to illustrate models and defines further researches.
