Abstract

Configuration Management (CM) is one of the manners to guarantee software quality. Several quality models which concern about CM have been considered, among them it is distinguished the MR.MPS reference model. However, there is a lack in literature related to reference models in reengineering context. Under this perspective, this paper aims to define a CM reference model, called MR.GC-PARFAIT, for the PARFAIT reengineering agile process. The model has been defined by means of three stages (to select essential CM activities, to select essential CM artifacts and to establish reference model applicability in PARFAIT activities), this being so the method GQM has been used in the two first stages. Reference model documentation is based on documentation structure of RUP (Rational Unified Process) and it is presented in this paper.

Keywords: Configuration Management, Agile Process, Reference Model MR.GC-PARFAIT
