Abstract

Distributed software development is increasingly becoming a common practice in the software industry. The increased complexity of software systems also reflects in the complexity of design documentation, thus requiring a specific tool support for change and configuration management in distributed development settings. We present the fine-grained versioning management approach adopted in the ADAMS artefact management system, focusing on support to high level documentation versioning. We also present the results of experimenting the tool in software development projects developed at the University of Salerno
