Implementação de um sistema web para gestão de configuração em projetos de software

Abstract

This work addresses a relatively critical activity in the software product development: configuration management. His importance is inherent to the software development process, along which arise change necessities in the generated artifacts, being necessary to register them, and control them to keep the project integrity during his evolution. Therefore, this work aims to present one tool to assist the relative activities to configuration management, implemented as complement to the projects management software used by the discipline of Design Project and Software Development from course of Technology in Analysis and Systems Development, of Federal Technological University of Paraná to simulate a software factory. The software system developed covers the processes inherent to the configuration management, defined in the level F from the quality model called Process Improvement of Brazilian Software (MPS.BR). In this way, the system implements the definition and management of baselines, who are instances composite for all the related artifacts to the one project software development process, in a given period. The artefacts that compose these baselines are called Configuration Items (CI), which can undergo changes during the project development period. These changes are registered by the system, from the approval of respective change requests, after the impact analysis of these changes. With base in the impact level of a change made in a CI, it is allowed to change the CI version, allowing the users to retrieve specific versions of one CI. Although the solution has been developed to be a complement to an existing system, it is applicable to real environments, as software factories with any size. This system was developed to the web platform, standing out from the used technologies the Java language, with JavaServer Faces framework, accompanied of PrimeFaces library to develop the interfaces and Hibernate to data persistence.
