Abstract :
This paper presents about embedding or updating version information in each and every software file of a deliverable before build release i.e. internal version information or version tag or release tag update in each and every file of a deliverable. It also deals about build process which is coupled to update the version information. One significant aspect of this version tag which is embedded in every deliverable file is that helps the client to identify the problem in the event of an emergency and acts appropriately by saving time and utilization energy. This concept is developed by using the version control tools like concurrent version control system or subversion and shell-scripting. This build automation also mitigates the problem of wrong credentials that usually occurs by a human operator. Thus, it ensures better software quality and stability. Experimental results show that the version information performs better with existing paradigms.
