Software development control based on module interconnection

Const r t l c t ing large so f tware systems is not merely a mat ter at r programming, but also a matter of communication and coordination. Problems arise because many peop le work on a joint pro ject and use each o ther s programs. This paper presents an in tegrated deve lopment and maintenance system that p rov ides a control l ing environment o insure the cons is tency of a so f tware system at the module in terconnect ion leve l. It assists the programmers w i th two fac i l i t ies: In ter face control and version cont ro l. In ter face control estal) l ishes consistent in ter faces between so f tware modules and maintains th i s cons is tency when changes are made. Version cont ro l coord inates the g~.neration and integration
