Abstract

Honeywell´s automated configuration management system (ACM), a library system for software development and maintenance on VAX/VMS systems, is described. ACM maintains its library of information through the basic file management services of VMS and through two purchased DEC tools: a relational database (DEC Rdb/VMS) and a code management system (DEC/CMS). ACM stores, controls access to, and tracks changes to project files in order to coordinate software development and maintenance activities for large projects. The automated documentation system is considered, and future extensions to ACM are discussed. The use of ACM is then examined, with attention given to traceability testing and change tracking
