Abstract:

Today the development and maintenance of software are becoming prohibitively costly. With the goal of reducing the cost of producing a software system without sacrificing the quality of it, the Department of Defense DOD is sponsoring the development of the Ada Programming Support Environment APSE. This thesis explains the APSE. It also explains the requirements and gives a preliminary design of one of the major tools of the APSE, the configuration manager. The preliminary design of this tool is presented using Structured Analysis and design Technique SADT diagrams. The preliminary design includes only a functional description of the configuration manager. Prior to presenting the preliminary design of the configuration manager, a description of how Software Configuration Management SCM is currently practiced is given. SCM is divided into four functions. They are configuration identification CI, configuration control CC, status accounting can be completely automated. Therefore, the preliminary design emphasizes the SA function. Originator-supplied keywords include Ada, Configuration Management, And Ada Programming Support Environment APSE.
