Abstract

The ability to manage the evolution of a software system is critical to a successful development process. In a typical software development process, software engineers think and reason in terms of logical abstractions, their compositions and interrelations. However, existing version control and software configuration management (SCM) systems treat a software system as a set of files in a conventional file system. This creates an impedance mismatch between the design and implementation domain (semantic level) and the configuration management domain (file level). File-oriented SCM systems, whose concepts are heavily based on the storage structure, can become burdensome for developers partly because design/implementation methods and SCM infrastructures require different mental models. This paper describes Molhado (Nguyen, 2005; Nguyen et al., 2004; Nguyen et al., 2005), an extensible and adaptable SCM framework and infrastructure that helps developers quickly create the core of an object-oriented SCM system for any application domain independent of the concrete file structure. SCM systems based on Molhado can be built to operate entirely at the logical level, eliminating that impedance mismatch

面向对象的软件配置管理

管理软件系统演进的能力对于成功的开发过程至关重要。在典型的软件开发过程中，软件工程师根据逻辑抽象、它们的组成和相互关系进行思考和推理。然而，现有的版本控制和软件配置管理(SCM)系统将软件系统视为传统文件系统中的一组文件。这在设计和实现领域(语义级)和配置管理领域(文件级)之间造成了阻抗不匹配。面向文件的SCM系统，其概念很大程度上基于存储结构，对于开发人员来说可能会变得负担过重，部分原因是设计/实现方法和SCM基础结构需要不同的心智模型。本文描述了Molhado (Nguyen, 2005;Nguyen et al.， 2004;Nguyen et al.， 2005)，一个可扩展和可适应的SCM框架和基础设施，帮助开发人员快速创建面向对象的SCM系统的核心，适用于任何独立于具体文件结构的应用领域。基于Molhado的SCM系统可以完全在逻辑层面上运行，从而消除了阻抗不匹配
