SCM and issue-tracking are critical in maintaining quality in software engineering. By examining a log of software changes in the SCM system, it is uncertain why the changes occurred. By examining a log of defect reports in the issue-tracker, it is uncertain what changed in software to correct the defects. Integration of SCM with bug-tracking ties the reason why a feature/defect was developed/fixed with what software changes occurred in the SCM system to accomplish this.
Unified software change and configuration management solutions are most commonly used by application development organizations that:
- Want to standardize and improve their overall change management processes.
- Place executives, not individual contributors in charge of product selection.
Enterprises employing Scmbug decrease engineering time through seamless tracing of product development and simplified identification of regressions. Requirements are met through enforcement of a change management process. Quality is increased through accurate reporting of feature and defect differences between releases.
