 What is software configuration management?

When we create software, the product (software) goes through a lot of changes during the maintenance phase; we need to efficiently manage these changes. To accomplish these shared objectives, a number of people (programs) collaborate. This person creates a variety of work products (SC Items), such as interim versions of modules or test data required for debugging, and pieces of the finished project.

A software configuration is an aggregate name for the parts that make up all the data created during the software process.

The quantity of Software Configuration Elements (SCIs) increases quickly as software development develops.
