Análise de um processo de gerência de configuração em relação ao MPS.BR nível f: um estudo de caso

Abstract

In recent years, software development has become complex and swift. Throughout its life cycle is constantly changing since its inception to deployment. The control over the processes involved is increasingly demanded, seeking to increase quality and productivity. In this context, Software Configuration Management is a discipline that allows the controlled evolution of software by establishing and maintaining consistency, integrity and traceability of all configuration items. The Software Configuration Management has become an essential activity for organizations, as it is a prerequisite for achieving software quality certifications. The MPS.Br is a program for improving the quality of software product. In its maturity level F expects a Configuration Management process implemented. This study aims to analyze the perception of a team of software of e-Gen company relative to the Configuration Management process according to the guidelines defined in the MPS.Br's level F. Thus, the study has allowed to identify factors that may influence the process negatively or positively to be in conforming with the level F. Besides contributing to the increase of scientific rigor in software engineering, this work is relevant to software companies wishing to join or are adopting the process of Configuration Management.
