Configuration Control

‍Configuration control in software engineering is a technique of controlling, authorizing, and recording changes in a system. This technique helps make sure that any changes that are to be made are easily seen and that the new versions and updates are integrated before use.

Typically, four key steps are involved in effective configuration control: recording the mistakes, collecting the necessary information, endorsing the alterations, and the last but not the least; the implementation of the alterations. These protocols assist in the development of a good management framework for controlling and tracking of all changes made to the system.
