“…This became necessary when there were several developers working together in projects, and a standardized way of keeping track of the changes were needed. If there would be no control, the developers would overwrite each other's changes (ESTUBLIER et al, 2002). In practice, VCSs allow developers to download and modify files in their local working area, which is periodically synchronized with the repository that contains the main version of the files.…”
e Sven Apel pela paciência, disponibilidade e comentários que certamente contribuirão para este e trabalhos futuros. Aos competentes profissionais do ambulatório de Doenças Gastrointestinais do Hospital das Clinicas de Pernambuco por permitirem que eu fosse capaz de conduzir este trabalho de uma forma saudável. Finalmente, agradeço a FACEPE por financiar minha pesquisa e ao Centro de Informática da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco por todo recurso que me ofereceu.

“…All the respondents interested in using at least one of the methods/approaches have been successively contacted by phone to obtain further information on the company. An unstructured interview was executed to obtain information on the used Software Configuration Management (SCM) [Software Configuration Management [28] encompasses the disciplines and techniques of initiating, evaluating and controlling change to software products during and after the software engineering process.] system.…”

The authors present the results of a descriptive survey to ascertain the relevance and the typology of the software error/ defect identification methods/approaches used in the industrial practice. This study involved industries/organisations that develop and sell software as a main part of their business or develop software as an integral part of their products or services. The results indicated that software error/defect identification is very relevant and regard almost the totality of the interviewed companies. The most widely used and popular practice is testing. An increasing interest has been also manifested in distributed inspection methods.
“…Through literature studies, research candidate found out, the challenges cited from [5] works are still valid and being used as references till today i.e. [14]. Following are challenges which are still remain as issues in SCM research scope.…”

Software does change and evolve during maintenance or creation another version of software. Adding up new requirements or features onto existing software will cause introduction of new elements inside software artefacts (e.g. class diagrams, source codes, use cases and etc). SCM based approaches are indeed needed to maintain ever grow artefacts along with maintaining artefacts relationships. Therefore SCM based approach has becoming a way to resolve the maintenance issues. This preliminary study has been carried out to look into possibility of how several SCM based approaches are been used in maintaining software artefacts specifically during maintenance phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
