Description

The complete guide to managing change using Software Configuration Management (SCM).

  • Covers the #1 SCM tool on the market: Rational ClearCase®.
  • Proven techniques for enhancing software quality, saving money, and getting to market faster.
  • Authoritative coverage by SCM expert Brian White -- former leader of the ClearCase project team.
In software development, change is inevitable. Successful projects deal well with change -- increasingly, through the use of sophisticated Software Configuration Management (SCM) tools and techniques. Now, there's a complete guide to both the SCM discipline and the field's #1 tool, Rational ClearCase®. Software Configuration Management Strategies and Rational ClearCase® covers every aspect of implementing SCM with ClearCase, demonstrating exactly how to use these tools to avoid cost overruns, stay on schedule, and enhance software quality. Brian White begins by introducing the motivation for Software Configuration Management, its key concepts, and how SCM tools can be applied to address the challenges encountered as software projects grow in size and complexity. White walks through establishing an initial SCM environment, managing projects with ClearCase, and understanding the iterative ClearCase process of "integration, build test, and baseline." Readers will learn how to use Rational ClearCase to address today's most widespread software management challenges, from defect tracking, to managing geographically distributed teams, to deploying powerful Web applications more quickly.

Brian White has more than ten years of experience applying a wide variety of SCM tools and methods to development environments in both the telecommunications and industrial controls industries, and in deploying SCM solutions to meet ISO 9000 and SEI CMM objectives. He is currently responsible for SCM product strategy at Rational Software Corporation.
