software configuration management or SCM is a task that allows you to track any change in a software development process, like if a new patch or a new code has been implemented, SCM allows you to track who did the changes and when, and when this code is doing its function, you can figure out how to apply it to your system.
the goals of SCM are:
* IDing the configuration: to know the ID of the person who did a change in the software which will be a great tool to track down every change in your software.
* Tracking defects: as a result of IDing configuration, you can easily track any defects in your software and solve it very quickly.
*Teamwork: it helps organizing the interaction between teammates and task handling.
* Environment management: managing both hardware and software that hosts your software.
Thank you , and I wish this information was helpful.
