The company CAD-UL AG develops software tools for embedded systems. Single tools such as compilers, linkers and debuggers are offered as well as complete development tool chains for the software development process. In contrast to application software for personal computers, embedded systems require very specialized software of highly optimized and exhaustively tested code. Since the previously existing configuration management was not efficient in comparison to the state-of-the-art in software engineering, an improvement was implemented by the introduction of a modern configuration management (CM) system (Cederqvist, 1998). In the paper, CAD-UL intends to show the results and the experiences of the European Systems and Software Initiative Process Improvement Experiment (ESSI-PIE) ICMS with the new configuration management system.
