ABSTRACT:
Change control in a software release stream is managed by a computer implemented Request To Integrate (RTI) system, including at least one user unit having an input unit and a display. A server unit which is connected to the user unit(s) creates and stores RTI files representing requests to integrate changes into the software release stream, and enables a selected RTI file to be displayed on the display unit under control of the input unit. The server unit includes a database in which the RTI files are stored under the Source Code Control System (SCCS), and a search engine for searching the database and displaying selected RTI files and their histories. The RTI files are in World Wide Web (WWW) HyperText Markup Language (HTML) text format, and are accessible through a WWW browser in the user unit(s) and a cooperating WWW server in the server unit. The server unit stores and executes a program including a WWW home page, and developer, evaluator and gatekeeper pages which are accessible through the home page. RTI files are created, edited, viewed, approved, placed on hold, canceled and integrated into the software release stream through the WWW page hierarchy by entering data through the input unit(s). The system further includes a software bug database which is accessible through hyperlinks in the WWW pages, and a user database which limits access to verified users.
