AllFusion Harvest Change Manager
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AllFusion Harvest Change Manager is a software tool for the configuration management (revision control, SCM etc) of source code and other software development assets.
[edit] History
The first CCC (acronym for 'Change and Configuration Control') product was released in the early 70s and was designed as a project for a Defense Department contractor in Santa Barbara CA. (The company at the time was Hughes Aircraft, now Santa Barbara Research Center for Raytheon.) It became the first commercially available CM tool.
CCC was designed to manage all the components that went into an aircraft engine, and seeing as the same engine was used by both the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy (for the F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle) it required robust and reliable parallel development.
The first version of CCC/Harvest was commercially developed by Softool Corporation, a CM-focused software company founded in 1977 in Goleta, CA. Other CCC tools included CCC/Manager and CCC QuickTrak.
Softool was acquired in late 1995 by Platinum Technology, which was later acquired in May 1999 by Computer Associates. (In 2002 the 'CCC' part of the name was dropped, and 'Change Manager' was added.)
