  • Computer method and apparatus for activity-based version selection in a configuration management system
    Patent number: 8359571
    Abstract: A computer method, system and apparatus for selecting version of a software program artifact includes history means and processor means. The history means indicate (a) a baseline version of each artifact in a given plurality of artifacts forming a subject software program configuration, and (b) respective change-set information per artifact. Different change sets correspond to different versions of the artifacts. The processor means determine version of an artifact in the subject software program configuration using the indicated baseline versions and change-set information. The processor means enable the configuration management system to display the determined version of the artifact to a user.
