Abstract

Software Configuration Management is essential to manage the evolution of non trivial software systems. Requirements for SCM support are continuously growing, demanding for seamless integration with the traditional development tools and support for management activities like change management, change impact analysis, etc. This paper presents SCCS-XP, a SCM platform supporting change management and traceability among fine-grained software artifacts. SCCS-XP exploits a XML-based language to represent versioned software artifacts. SCCS-XP provides the basic capabilities to build full-fledged SCM environments featuring traceability management, change management and integrates nicely with development tools.
