Chapter 25, Problem 25.1E

Explanation of Solution

Problems:

The problem that could arise when a company does not develop effective configuration management policies and processes are as follows:

  • It is not possible to create new versions of software systems effectively as they change. As well as it is not possible for the developers to keep track of the changes to the software.
  • It is difficult to control the costs and effort involved in making changes to a system.
  • There may be chances to forget the storage place of the software source code for a particular version. In some cases, wrong version of a system may be delivered to the customers.
  • Configuration management is seen as a part of a more general quality management process which results in ineffective quality management process.
  • If some one is leaving the company, then it is very difficult to protect investments in software, and to reproduce a build with the correct component or continue development.
