Abstract

The capacity for tracing relationships among various artifacts which are created at each phase of software system development is essential for software quality management. Software release refers to delivering a set of newly created or changed artifacts to customers. The relationships among artifacts which comprise software release must be traced so that the work for customer's requirement of change and functional enhancement is effectively established. And release management can be effectively realized through the integration of configuration management and change management. This paper proposes the technique for supporting change management of artifacts and for tracing relationships of artifacts which comprise software release through the integrated environment of personal workspace and configuration management system. In the proposed environment, the visualized version graph and automated tagging function are used for tracing relationships of artifacts.

소프트웨어 시스템 각 개발단계에서 만들어지는 다양한 산출물들의 연관 관계를 추적하는 능력은 소프트웨어의 품질 관리에 필수적인 요소이다. 소프트웨어 릴리스는 신규 또는 변경된 산출물들의 집합(실행 프로그램 포함)을 고객에게 인도하는 것이다. 소프트웨어 릴리스를 구성하는 산출물들의 연관 관계를 정확하게 추적할 수 있어야 고객의 변경 요구나 기능 개선을 위한 효율적인 작업을 수행할 수 있으며, 릴리스 관리는 형상 관리와 변경 관리를 통합할 때 효율적으로 이루어질 수 있다. 본 논문은 개인 작업 공간과 형상 관리 시스템을 통합한 환경을 통해 산출물들의 변경 관리를 지원하고 릴리스를 구성하는 산출물들의 연관 관계를 효율적으로 추적할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 제시된 환경에서 산출물의 연관 관계를 추적하기 위해 시각화된 버전 그래프와 자동화된 태깅(tagging) 기능을 사용한다.
