Abstract

As software development comes to be viewed more and more as an engineering discipline, Software Configuration Management is increasingly recognised as a key technology in the development of software. The Esprit VISCOUNT project1 aim is to implement an innovative Software Configuration Management (SCM) tool to use in a geographically distributed software development environment, a Virtual Software Corporation (VSC).

The features implemented by the tool will be the following:

·Configurable process modelling

·Inter-working capabilities with COTS SCM tools

·Selective replication of archives

·Open to include plug-in applications (security mechanism, encryption, etc)

This paper is based on the work undertaken as part of the VISCOUNT project, partially funded by European Union's Esprit Programme, and it describes the SIA (Societa' Italiana Avionica) requirements defined in the framework of VISCOUNT.
