Title: Issues and Techniques of CASE Integration with Configuration Management
Author(s): Kurt C. Wallnau
Number: CMU/SEI-92-TR-005 ESD-TR-92-005
Abstract: Commercial computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tool
technology has emerged as an important component of practical software
development environments. Issues of CASE tool integration have received
heightened attention in recent years, with various commercial products and
technical approaches promising to make inroads into this difficult problem.
One aspect of CASE integration that has not been adequately addressed is the
integration of CASE tools with configuration management (CM) including both CM
policies and systems. Organizations need to address how to make CASE tools
from different vendors work effectively with an organization's CM policies
and tools (in effect, integrate CASE with CM) within the context of the
rapidly evolving state of commercial integration technology. This report
describes key issues of the integration of CASE with CM from a third-party
integrator's perspective, i.e., how to approach the integration of CASE and
CM in such a way as to not require fundamental changes to the implementation
of the tools or CM systems themselves.
