Audited builds based upon separate class dependency records

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to software configuration management and provide a method, system and apparatus for producing audited builds based on separate class dependency records. In one embodiment, a software configuration management tool can be provided which can include build-audit logic programmed to produce separate configuration records for each target object in a build. Each configuration record can include a direct dependency reference for a corresponding target object. Moreover, each configuration record can include version information for a corresponding target object. Finally, the software configuration management tool can include a versioned object base storing different versions of source files and derived objects built from the source files.

1. A data processing system configured to produce audited builds based on separate class dependency records, the system comprising:
software configuration management tool executing in memory of a computer and coupled to a versioned object base; and, build-audit logic coupled to the software configuration management tool, the logic comprising program code programmed upon execution in the memory of the computer to detect class dependencies for other classes in an audited build, to store the class dependencies for other classes separately from one another in a corresponding separately stored configuration record comprising a separate dependency file associated with a makefile target, each of the separately stored class dependencies for other classes being treated as a separate build target.
