摘要：配置管理 (CM) 的自动化支持是软件工程环境在过去 20 年中取得进步的一个方面。这一进展体现在人们对 CM 日益增长的兴趣、许多涉及 CM 的技术论文和会议、大量的 CM 工具供应商以及包含 CM 功能的新软件开发环境。本文讨论的是影响 CM 问题解决方案的未来问题。展望未来，有必要讨论CM的过去和现在的情况。过去是围绕内部构建的 CM 系统发展的，并辅以用于执行 CM 功能的手动程序和策略。目前包括对 CM 的更好理解、CM 通用词汇的开始、支持 CM 的许多第三方 CM 工具和环境的存在、以及认识到单个 CM 系统不能解决所有 CM 问题以及需要更好地理解 CM 流程支持。
Abstract : Automated support for configuration management (CM) is one aspect of software engineering environments that has progressed over the last 20 years. The progress is seen by the burgeoning interest in CM, many technical papers and conferences involving CM, a large number of CM tool vendors, and new software development environments that incorporate CM capabilities. This paper is about future issues affecting solutions to CM problems. To put the future into perspective, it is necessary to discuss the past and present situation for CM. The past evolves around CM systems built in-house and supplemented with manual procedures and policies for executing the CM functions. The present consists of a better understanding of CM, the beginnings of a common vocabulary for CM, existence of many third-party CM tools and environments supporting CM, and recognition that a single CM system does not solve all CM problems and that there is a need for better understanding of CM process support.
