Software Configuration Management for the Web

Software Configuration Management for the Web


Software Configuration Management for the Web


Software configuration management must be practiced for any software system from the moment any work on the software system begins to when support ceases for that system. In the E-World, which is an expression used to describe the environment in which web applications are developed and utilized, effective and time-efficient software configuration management must be practiced such that baselines are identified and changes are tracked to those baselines. However, this software configuration management effort must not impede development and must be clearly understood from a functional basis. The overwhelming time to market requirement for E-World development efforts can not tolerate any impediments to development time and responding to client needs. This high emphasis on time efficient processes has not been true for many software development projects in other environments in the past as a rule, and pragmatism has surely not governed many efforts that had to observe numerous government regulations.

ISO - The ISO Story - Quality management standards

ISO - The ISO Story - Quality management standards

The vast majority of ISO’s International Standards were highly specific to a particular product, material, or process. However, during the 1980s, ISO entered into new areas of work, destined to have enormous impact on organizational practices and trade.

The history of industrialization has seen many standards dealing with quality issues.

A famous example concerns the military field: during the two world wars, a high percentage of bullets and bombs went off in the factories themselves in the course of manufacturing. In an effort to curb such causalities, the United Kingdom’s ministry of defense appointed inspectors in the factories to supervise the production process.
