A company website is expanding, offering bake sweets&treats, in additional to their icecream. The current web hosting provider will no longer be used so the company will need to have the existing web pages to in-house web server,. Additonal, the company wants to add content pages for the new baked sweets&treats that will be sold as well as functionality for an online store. Unfortunately, you have discovered that there are no properly documented change management and configurationmanagement process.
Create a flowchart to illustrate the stages and steps of the change management process. Along with the flowchart, create the documentation that outlines the process that the company should follow in the various stages of the change management process. At a minimun, communication&scheduling, planning&testing, process&documentation, and revision control&automation needs to be explained.
Also, create a flowchart to illustrate the phases of configuration management process. For each phase of the process, you will need to develop dicumentation that provides an explanation of each phase of process that the company should follow.

Hi,

Please find the answer below:

-----------------------------------

The configuration management process deals with how to identify, control and maintain changes to the software artifacts.

Artifacts can be source code, documents , test code, reports etc.

Tools that handle changes to source code are called source control tools like Perforce, git, subversion.

Once the artifact enters the configuration management system its baselined and any changes to that should be tracked, controlled.

Flow chart for the configuration management process is shown below:

----------------------------------

The company can move all the existing content from the hosting provider to an internal webserver.

Once configuration management starts any change should be identified, controlled, reviewed, etc.

Start the configuration management process.

  • Install tool like Git, Subversion, etc. ( Git is distributed version control tool)
  • Mark or tag all the artifacts as v1.0
  • Any change, delete, modify should go through the Change control process.
  • Add pages for sweets and baked items.
  • Mark or tag all the artifacts as v1.1
  • Kick-off integration testing, regression and Automation suites.

-----------------------------------------

Hope this helps.
