Software Configuration Management

Introduction

Software Configuration Management covers a wide range of practices, including tracking and controlling changes in the software using version control, building software and creating baselines, reporting on the contents of such builds and baselines, establishing traceability from requirements and change requests to software revisions, etc.

The goal of this effort is to define a common set of resources, formats and RESTful services to access and manipulate SCM systems.

Approach

The group will not initially attempt to define a complete set of SCM services such as those in IETF 3253 (WebDAV DeltaV) or JSR-147 (WVCM). Rather, we will incrementally define the services needed to implement specific SCM Use Cases

Status

This group is defining the first set of SCM services. This first set of services will focus on simple queries and reports, satisfying the needs of a Drill-Down report, amongst others.
