What is 'configuration management'?
Configuration
management covers the processes used to control, coordinate, and track:
code, requirements, documentation, problems, change requests, designs,
tools/compilers/libraries/patches, changes made to them, and who makes
the changes. What if the software is so buggy it can't really be tested
at all?
The best bet in this situation is for the testers to go
through the process of reporting whatever bugs or blocking-type
problems initially show up, with the focus being on critical bugs.
Since this type of problem can severely affect schedules, and indicates
deeper problems in the software development process (such as
insufficient unit testing or insufficient integration testing, poor
design, improper build or release procedures, etc.) managers should be
notified, and provided with some documentation as evidence of the
problem.
