Abstract

Programming is both a tedious and sensitive task. During the development of large programs, coordination can make the problem even worse. A useful programming environment eases the task by automating many of the programmer’s routine operations. Such assistance includes automatic configuration management and version management. Chapter 10 describes approaches to software maintenance, emphasizing applications of database technologies to managing programming objects at various levels of abstraction.
