Introduction:
Configuration Management (CM) is the business process that helps the team to rapidly develop, package, and deliver quality software. It is much ahead of your competitors as it includes the management of all essential artifacts that are created during the software lifecycle. Right from the source code to documentation and test cases with a strong focus on the rapidly developing automated build, package as well as deployment processes which have the ability to handle the multiple variants of the same codebase.
Course Objectives:
