Software Configuration Management Tool CRESTS/SCMT





For satisfying various system development units of large-scale projects to control technical state of the software projects they undertake, strengthen the management of "controlled library" and "products library" during the process of software development, also formally stipulate software development process; BAJT(Beijing Autosoft Jitong Technologies Co., Ltd. ) developed software configuration management tool SCMT independently, according to our military standard and General Armament Department software engineering technical specifications for software configuration management.

On the one hand, SCMT provides computer aided support to software configuration management work and helps software configuration administrator to formally manage "controlled bank" and "products bank"; on the other hand, SCMT also can help software development users to formally stipulate development process, and make users clear to what they should do and when to do.

SCMT development and running give attention to the requirements of various software projects, managing requirements of various units devices state; and realize configuration management for software configuration option (CSCI) with the unit of software configuration management option (CMI). Its managing emphasis is controlled library and products library.

SCMT adopts currently fashionable Browser/Server framework, provides the functions of long-range browse, entering warehouse, out of warehouse, auditing, examination & approval and so on, meeting the requirements of software configuration management of modern large-scale and distributed exploitation; also supports various operating systems, including Windows series, Open VMS and so on; realizes multiple management according to software projects and software configuration options; and also completes software configuration management functions, including project library management (establishment, updating, filing-up and so on) , software configuration management scheming ( plans enaction, the definition and baseline setting of software configuration management option and so on), software configuration management agency and personnel authorization & examination, baseline library management of software configuration option, products library management of software project, software changing process management and control, version management, system data back-up and datareconstruction & configuration auditing, tracing and so on.

On system architecture, SCMT adopts with triple architecture based on browser/server mode. The first layer is presentation layer, completing user interface function by client browser; the second layer is functional layer, completing application function required by users through network server composed of application server; the third layer is data layer, completing data memory and management function by data library server. SCMT is running at the end of server, and all the related data are saved at the end of server. Users can access data through network. As following is SCMT external interface block diagram.
