Change Management:
------------------
-> Managing changes is a process.The process is the primary
responsibility of the software development staff.
-> The testers need to know two aspects of change
1) The characteristics of the change so that modification
of the test plan and test data can be made to assure the
right functionality and strucuture are tested.
2) The version in which that change will be implemented.

Configuration Mgt:
------------------
-> It is key component of the infrastrucutre for any
software development organizations.
-> Set of activities designed to control by identifying the
work products that are likely to change,establishing
relationships among them,defining mechanisms for managing
different versions of these work products,controlling the
changes imposed and auditing and reporting on the changes
made.

Version Control:
----------------
-> Once dynamic testing begins,the project team must ensure
that the appropirate versions of the software components
are being tested.
-> The configuration manager must develop both migration
and back out procedures to support this process.

Defect Tracking:
----------------
-> It is used for tracking the defects or bugs arised.
