Software Configuration
Management Study Guides
Software configuration
management study guides do not seem to be as easy to come across as
one might expect. The short of it then is an outline of the
‘typical’ compound list of what is usually in a course of this
nature, so therefore what needs to be studied. There are going to be
obviously some differences, of course, depending on where you do the
course.

UNDERSTANDING
The use of software
metrics to evaluate projects and products.
The application of
software patterns to produce effective and reusable solutions to
design problems.
Approaches to process
improvement.

testing.
Project and
configuration management issues.
Ethical and

Ultimately every
course is slightly different, but I believe this will be a good
starting point.
