⚙️ Configuration Management Improvement and Quality !

Configuration Management

Improvement

We had not work on configuration management for a while. At least on the pure development side. Everyday we work on configuration management, every day we run at least a manual change and a few days a week someone is demonstrating how an ECO works. Our automated tests also run an ECO at every code commit in our codebase. We had this customer request for a while about allowing some type of nodes to be controlled by an ECO when updated and others could be handled by a simple manual change. This is typical for some document types. Until version 2.8 the change control mode was defined on the nodetype. From version 2.9 you can now set your own condition.

Quality

The other reason why we spent a lot of time working on ECO without necessarily adding new features is that we spend a lot of time testing. It was not easy at first to automate configuration management testing. What we use to do is to run certain scripts and then visually validate the result with the graph.

We invested a large amount of time this past month adding about 100 tests to validate our configuration management rules. This will gives us more confidence in our development as these test will be run on every code pushed to our codebase.
