Repozytorium konfiguracji oprogramowania jako podstawa zaawansowanych rozwiązań zarządzania procesem wytwórczym oprogramowania
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Serafiński, Tomasz
In his article we presented software configuration repository which can be used as storage of data about software development process. With this data we can feed analytical tools which will estimate contamination of change in software project. Presented solution is taking in account not only configuration items, as in other solutions in this class, but also complex dependencies between configuration items and resources. Additionally in repository we include all steps needed to be done while working on particular configuration items. This approach allows us to use described solution as a software quality management tool.

Software configuration management for multiple releases - influence on development effort
(2007) Maludziński, Sławomir P.
Software Configuration Management (SCM) evolves together with the discipline of software engineering. Teams working on software products become larger and are geographically distributed at multiple sites. Collaboration between such groups requires well evaluated SCM plans and strategies to easy cooperation and decrease software development cost by reducing time spent on SCM activities - branching and merging, that is effort utilized on creation of revisions (»serial« versions) and variants (»parallel« versions). This paper suggests that SCM practices should be combined with modular design and code refactoring to reduce cost related to maintenance of the same code line. Teams which produce several variants of the same code line at the same time should use approaches like components, modularization, or plug-ins over code alternations maintained on version branches. Findings described in this paper were taken by teams in charge of development of radio communication systems in Motorola GEMS divisions. Each team collaborating on similar projects used different SCM strategies to develop parts of this system.
