Configuration Management
You should adopt working procedures, if necessary supported by a software tool, to follow a protocol such as the one above. Use rigorous methods to perform the following tasks:
- Identify component dependencies. That is, decide which components must be changed along with other components.
- Monitor component usage. That is, identify whether a component is already undergoing modification.
- Check out components into the development environment and record that they are in use.
- Progress components through testing.
- Move modified components back into the live production environment.
- Keep an audit trail of all such modifications.
