Vesta, unlike other SCM systems, is specifically designed to handle very large software projects comprising tens of millions of lines of code and beyond. Researchers in the field of software engineering and specialists in the construction of software development tools will especially benefit from this work, but it will also appeal to those responsible for designing and deploying configuration management solutions for large software systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree important but hard-to-achieve properties lie at the heart of Vesta's unique approach to software configuration management: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvery build is repeatable\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvery build is incremental\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvery build is consistent\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo realize these properties in a practical SCM system, Vesta provides a novel repository to store the versions of the files that make up an evolving software system and a flexible language for writing modular configuration descriptions that define how the system is put together. This book explains in depth these facilities and the suite of tools that supports them, together with a methodology for applying them in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders who seek more information about Vesta may download the entire system as well as other publications, reference documents, and user documentation from the Vesta home page at http: \/\/www.vestasys.org.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45276272820375,"sku":"9781441934727","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441934727.webp?v=1769285196","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/software-configuration-management-using-vesta-9781441934727","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
