什么是配置管理？

What is 'configuration management'?
Configuration management covers the processes used to control, coordinate, and track: code, requirements, documentation, problems, change requests, designs, tools/compilers/libraries/patches, changes made to them, and who makes the changes.

配置管理是对整个开发过程实施控制、协调和跟踪，包括：代码、需求、文档、问题、变更请求、设计，工具/编译器/库文件/补丁等，这些配置项谁请求变更、如何变更等进行管理。
