Abstract

Distributed development occurs more frequently today than only some years ago. Distributed development states new demands on Configuration Management and used processes. This paper describes experiences from more than ten different Swedish companies in the area of distributed development and software configuration management. We present definitions, experiences and hints on Software Configuration Management from three different aspects; four cases of distributed development, architecture, and working methods in some key-areas.
